3. “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all
means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” –Vincent Van Gogh

second language learning.
Individuals who are motivated tend
to learn the second language faster
than those who are not.

10. Learners’ emotional states have
a powerful influence on their
behaviour and performance in

We all have different and
unique personalities and each
personality trait can affect our
second language learning in
different ways.

12. • Considered empathy to be important.
Guiora,
Brannon &
Dull
(1972)
• Argues that an out-going personality
contributes to language learning.
• Introverts generally perform better
academically whereas, an extrovert
appears to take advantage of social
opportunities for second language.
Krashen
(1981)

13. LEVEL OF
PROFICIENCY

14. High proficient learners use
greater and wider variety of
LLSs.
Chamot and Küpper (1989)

more strategies than did the
beginners.
