AFFECTIVE AND ABILITY FACTORS IN SECOND‐LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Abstract
Although past research studies have failed to yield consistently positive correlations between motivation and achievement in second‐language classes, teacher experience clearly indicates that student attitudes and opinions do have a decided effect on learning. The question confronting both teachers and researchers is what student affective characteristics influence learning and what influence each has. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of three affective student characteristics, in comparison with selected student ability characteristics, on course grade in elementary language courses. In this study there were as many positive correlations between the affective characteristics and course grade as there were between ability factors and course grade. The implication was that affective characteristics have at least as much influence on learning as do ability factors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
