THE AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
• The affective domain is the emotional side of
human behavior, and it may be juxtaposed to
the cognitive side.
• The development of affective states or
feelings involves a variety of personality
factors, feelings both ourselves and about
others with whom we come into contact.
Benjamin Bloom’s useful extended definitions of the
affective domain:
1. Receiving
- persons must be aware of the environment surrounding
them, be conscious of the situations, phenomena, people,
objects; must willing to receive, willing to tolerate a stimulus; not
avoid it, and give a stimulus their controlled or selected
attention.
2. Responding
- committing themselves in at least some small measure
to a phenomenon or a person. Such responding in one
dimension may be in acquiescence, but in another, higher,
dimensions the person is willing to respond voluntarily without
coercion, and then receive satisfaction from that response.
3. Valuing
- placing worth on a thing, a behavior, or a person.
Individuals do not merely accept a value to the point of being
willing to be identified with it, but commit themselves to the
value to pursue it, seek it out, and to want it.
4. Organization
- organization of values into a system of beliefs,
determining interrelationships among them, and establishing a
hierarchy of values within the system.
5. Value System
- individuals act consistently in accordance with the values
they have internalized and integrate beliefs, ideas, and attitudes
into a total philosophy or world view. It is at this level that
problem solving, for example, is approached on the basis of a
total, self-consistent system.

The Sensing-Intuition (S/N)
The Sensing-Intuition (S/N) category has to do with the way we
perceive and “take in” the world around us. Sensing types are data-
oriented and empirically inclined to stick to observable, measurable
facts, while intuitive types are more willing to rely on hunches,
inspiration, and imagination for perceiving reality.

Practicality Ingenuity

The Thinking-Feeling (T/F)
The Thinking-Feeling (T/F) category describes ways of arriving at
conclusions and storing reality memory. Thinking types are generally cognitive,
objective, impartial, and logical. Feeling involves more affectivity, a desire for
harmony, a capacity for warmth, empathy, and compassion.

MOTIVATION
• is commonly thought of as an inner drive, impulse, emotion, or
desire that moves one to a particular action.
• In technical terms, motivation refers to “the choices people
make as to what experience or goals they will approach or
avoid, and the degree of effort they will exert in that certain
needs or drives”.
• Some psychologist define motivation in terms of certain needs
or drives. Motivation is something that can, like self-esteem,
be global, situational or task-oriented.
• Learning a foreign language clearly requires some of all three
levels of motivation. For example, a learner may possess high
“global” motivation but low “task” motivation to perform
well.
• Motivation is also typically examined in terms of the
intrinsic and extrinsic orientation of the learner. Those
who learn for their own self-perceived needs and goals are
intrinsically oriented and those who pursue a goal only to
receive an external reward from someone else are
extrinsically motivated.
Ausubel’s 6 needs undergirding the construct of
motivation:
1.The need for exploration, for seeing “the other side of the mountain”, for probing
the unknown.
2.The need for manipulation, for operating – to use the Skinner’s term – on the
environment and causing change.
3.The need for activity, for movement and exercise, both physical and mental
4.The need for stimulation, the need to be stimulated by the environment, by other
people, or by ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
5.The need for knowledge, the need to process and internalize the results of
exploration, manipulation, activity, and stimulation, to resolve contradictions, to
quest for solutions to problems and for self-consistent systems of knowledge.
6.The need for ego enhancement, for the self to be known and to be accepted and
approved by others.
Instrumental, Integrative and Assimilative Motivation
Instrumental Motivation
- refers to motivation to acquire a language as means for
attaining instrumental goals: furthering a career, reading technical
material, translation and so forth.
Integrative Motivation
- motive is employed when learners wish to integrate
themselves within the culture of the second language group, to identify
themselves with and become part of the society.
- It is the desire on the part of a language learner to learn the
second language in order to communicate with, or find out about,
members of the second language culture, and does not necessarily imply
direct contact with the second language group.
Assimilative Motivation
- is the drive to become an undistinguishable member of a
speech community, and it usually requires prolonged contact with
the second language culture.
- characteristic of a person who, perhaps at a very young age,
learn a second language and second culture in order to identify
almost exclusively with that second language.
