Affective filter

From Teflpedia

The affective filter is a hypothesised mental filter that reduces a person’s ability to acquire language if that person has negative affect. The affective filter hypothesis hypothesises that this exists, and this is widely accepted amongst theoreticians. Given that, practitioners often talk about affective filter lowering.
