Abstract
Second language learning is a multifaceted and dynamic process involving numerous individual difference factors. These cognitive, conative, affective, and social factors influence, predict, or even sometimes determine the outcome of second language learning. This paper attempts to explore the role of emotion, motivation, self-efficacy, and flow in second language learning by reviewing Albert’s book, including the research context, affective factors, an overview of second language learning tasks, three empirical studies, and pedagogical implications. The summary and review of the findings provide insights and suggestions for second language teaching.
