The hypothesis of the 'affective filter'

With the class we saw from the students of sports Krashen's theory is very important and now I'm going to talk a little about the hypothesis of the 'affective filter' and this establishes the need for a process of acquisition, but when we get a sense of confidence and self-confidence and sense of being able to work with a group. But this hypothesis is to create a situation in the classroom free of tension and the student does not feel pressured to do something without knowing or feel pressured and can not do an activity the situation is.
When the filter is high, there is a mental block that prevents the student uses the input it receives intelligible and therefore not an acquisition. The filter must be low so that the student is open to input, and so the single will involve and will feel better within the group.

Yes this theory is so imprtant . Students must love language ( in this case English), si if thet love this lalnguage they can do great things and they can learn more and more and so on . Another important think is teacher have got use a good method ,because many times we use a fucking boring methods and it can be terrible . Studens can hate it !!
