Affectivity is one of the important factors in the learning process, which helps to determine the level of proficiency achieved by different learners. With the development of second language acquisition (SLA) research, people have gradually come to realize the importance of rediscovering the essence of SLA and the influence of the correlated factors in order to learn more efficiently. In the late 1960s, humanism beg

In late 1970s to 1980s, more and more linguists and researchers focused their attention to the development of affectivity in the process of language learning.

Alexander Guiora was a researcher in the study of affective factors in second language learning who proposed the language affectivity influence the result of SLA.
