Motivate me, and I will learn The influence of affective factors in foreign language teaching

In recent years, affective factors have become one of the most important topics of discussion in foreign language learning. Therefore, the present study aims to analyse the affective factors of a 6th-grade class before and after applying an innovative methodological proposal, more specifically, the introduction of English in an interdisciplinary project. To do this, different qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (questionnaires and rubrics) data collection tools were used. The results show how incorporating English into an interdisciplinary project has positively affected students’ affectivity, decreasing their anxiety, increasing their motivation and encouraging a good attitude towards the English language.
