Abstract As is known to all, language is the bridge to the human civilization。 And the skill of listening occupies an important position in people’s daily communication。 During the language learning process, the general law has been formed that listening comes before saying and understanding comes before expressing。 While we are learning English, listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four essential skills。 Among the four, listening ranks the first, thus, the importance of which is obviously extraordinary。 Actually, there are many subjective and objective factors affecting the listening quality in the teaching activities。 However, due to the particularity of listening comprehension itself, the affective factors have particular influence on it。 Taking Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis as the theoretical basis, with the integration of the practice of students’ listening study, this thesis mainly illustrates the influence of affective factors on listening comprehension。 Moreover, this thesis explores some enlightenment on English listening teaching and learning according to Krashen’s Affective Filter Hypothesis。75653

摘要众所周知，语言是人类通往世界文明的桥梁。而听这项技能在人们日常语言交际中占据着重要地位。先听后说，先理解后表达是我们在学习语言过程中形成的一般规律。在英语学习中，听、说、读、写是四项必不可少的技能，在这四者中，听是排在首位的，显而易见，听力的重要性非同一般。在实际教学中，影响听力效果的主、客观因素有很多。但是，由于听力本身的特殊性，使得情感因素对其影响尤为重大。本文以克拉申的情感过滤假说为理论依据，联系学生学习听力的实际，主要阐述了情感因素对听力理解的影响。同时，本文也探寻了克拉申的情感过滤假说对英语听力教学的一些启示。

1。 Introduction

With the emergence of quality-oriented education and new national curriculum standard, the affective aspects have played an increasing significant role in the second language class。 Therefore, researching the impact of the affective factors on the second language teaching and learning may help the learners to master the target language more efficiently。

Affect refers to people’s moods or feelings。 It is an attitude caused by the experience in which the objective things meet or fail to meet people’s own needs。 (Guan 214) In the past few decades, the research community of foreign language teaching has paid much more attention to studying the cognitive factors instead of affective aspects。 However, with the development of education, a large number of explorations have been made by many researchers to study the filter function of the affect on language input since 1970s。 What’s more, these researchers pointed out that the processes of cognition and affect are two kinds of complex psychological procedures in human’s cognitive activities。 There are not only differences but also relations between them。 For example, the affective process is produced on the basis of cognitive process, and, in turn, affects it。 That is to say, the affective process could adjust and control the cognitive activity。 “In the last decade, we have recognized that the impact of affect on language learning is at least as great as that of cognitive factors, and tends to be even greater。” (Stern 435) At the same time, the practice of foreign language teaching also proved that without the function of affect, the learner’s motivation is hard to mobilize even though he has a great learning potential。 (Zhang 127) So, we can say that the value of the research on affective factors is not less than that of cognitive factors。论文网
