THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EQ & IQ
THE AFFECTIVE FILTER It is a hypothesis of second language
acquisition theory, and also A field of interest in educational psychologyThe affective filter “is an impediment to learning or acquisition
caused by negative emotional responses to one’s environment”
COMPONENTS OF THE AFFECTIVE FILTERCertain emotions such
as: Anxiety Self-doubt and Mere boredom
Interfere with the process of acquiring a second language
This blockage can be reduced by:
Sparking interest Low anxiety
environments Bolsterin the
learner’s self-esteem
They function as a filter between the speaker
and the listener that reduces the amount of language input the listener is able to understand.
These negative emotions prevent efficient processing of the language input.

CONCLUSION
A student enters school as a unique individual, molded by genes, environment, and a certain spark within himself. An increased awareness of how special that unique spark really makes him helps that student retain that quality.
My goal as a teacher is not to produce cookie-cutter children but to nourish each student's individual soul. As an ancient Chinese proverb says:
I hear …and I forgetI see… and I rememberI do…and I understand.
