7. AFFECTIVE FILTERS
 LOW AFFECTIVE FILTER Risk taking
It is imperative that teachers also institute a policy in the classroom that
prohibits students from making fun of their peers or laughing at
errors made by other students. The optimal classroom for language
learning and production is a classroom that encourages risk-taking in
language production and views errors as a natural progression of
language learning.
When placed in a safe and affirming environment, many students
will blossom and grow in their language development!!
 HIGH AFFECTIVE FILTER (Anxious, worried for his/her results)

8. LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY

9. INTERLANGUAGE
Interlanguage is the type of language produced by second- and
foreign- language learners who are in the process of learning a
language. In language learning, learner’s errors are caused by
several different processes. These include:
a. borrowing patterns from the mother tongue
b. b. extending patterns from the target language.
c. c. Expressing meanings using the words and grammar which
are already known
From Richards, Jack C et al. 1992. Dictionary of LanguageTeaching
& Applied Linguistics. Second Edition. Essex: Longman Group

12. METALANGUAGE
 Meta-language is the language teachers and learners use to talk
about the English language, learning and teaching.
 Example
Words and phrases such as 'verb', 'noun', 'present perfect
continuous', 'phrasal verb' and 'reported speech' are all
examples of common classroom meta-language.
 In the classroom
Certain classroom teaching materials rely on the learner
knowing an extensive range of meta-language and teachers
sometimes spend time teaching learners some of the more
common terms.
