Affective Factors in the Language Classroom

Saturday, October 20th, 2001, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Speaker: Randall Pennington

Pennington will examine and discuss the degree to which Japanese students' affective filters affect their ability to learn English from native speaker teachers. He will then examine Japanese student expectations of how their teacher will and should behave, and this will be contrasted with native teacher expectations of student behavior. Motivation, and the lack of it, will also be examined.
