    AFFECTIVE PRINCIPLES

    Principle 6: Language Ego


    As human beings learns to use a second language,
    they also develop a new mode of thinking, feeling,
    and acting—a second identity. The new “language
    ego,” intertwined with the second language, can
    easily create within the learners a sense of fragility, a
    defensiveness, and a raising of inhibitions.

    2
    The following are some effective
    supports to relief the situations:
    1. Overtly display a supportive attitude to your students.
    2. On a more mechanical, lesson-planning level, your choice of
    techniques and sequences of techniques needs to be cognitively
    challenging but not overwhelming at an affective level;
    3. Considering learners’ language ego states will probably help
    you to determine teaching and learning activities.
    4. Help our students to understand that the confusion of
    developing the identity “second self” in the second culture is
    normal and natural process
    4
    Principle 7: Self- Confidence
    Learners’ belief that they indeed are fully
    capable of accomplishing task is at least
    partially a factor in their eventual success
    in attaining the task.

    2
    ▰ Giving ample verbal and non-verbal assurances
    to students.
    ▰ Sequencing techniques from easier to more
    difficult.

    7
    Principle 8: Risk-Taking
    Successful language learners, in their realistic
    appraisal of themselves as a vulnerable beings
    yet capable of accomplishing tasks, must be
    willing to become “gamblers” in the game of
    language, to attempt to produce and interpret
    language that is a bit beyond their absolute
    certainty. 9
    Reflecting the Principles of Risk-Taking
    ▰ Create an atmosphere in the classroom that encourages students
    to try out languages, to venture a response, and not to wait for
    someone else to volunteer language;
    ▰ Provide reasonable challenges in techniques
    ▰ Help your students to understand what calculated risk-taking is
    ▰ Respond to students’ risky attempts with positive affirmation,
    praising them for trying while at the same time warmly attending
    to their language.

    10
    Principle 9: The Language-
    Culture Connection
    Whenever you teach a language, you also teach a
    complex system of cultural customs, values, and ways of
    thinking, feeling, and acting.

    12
    Classroom applications include the following:

    1. Discuss cross-cultural differences with your students,


    2. Include among your techniques certain activities and materials that
    illustrate the connection between language and culture
    3. Teach your students the culture connotations, especially the
    sociolinguistic aspects, of language
    4. Screen your techniques for material that may be culturally offensive;
    5. Make explicit to your students what you may take for granted in your own
    culture.

    13
    The second aspect of the Language-Culture Connection

    Acculturation

    14
    Especially in “second” language learning
    contexts, the success with which learners adapt to
    a new cultural milieu will affect their language
    acquisition success, and vice versa, in some
    possibly significant ways.

    15
    In the classroom, teachers can:

    1. help students to be aware of acculturation and its


    stages.
    2. stress the importance of the second language as a
    powerful tool for adjustment in the new culture.
    3. be especially sensitive to any students who appear to
    be discouraged, then do what you can to assist them.
