Factor Which Affect Language Learning Process

There are many factors that affect the language learning process, in here we will classify in two factor.
That is internal factors and external factors.

& Internal Factors

In this case we will talk about physical, psychology, and exhaustion.

1) Physical

a) Healthy

Learning process can goes well with good healthy. Healthy is someone in good condition. If someone
want to learn well, he/she must try to keep his body in good condition such as, can share his time to
get rest, eat, relaxation, pray, and sport.

b) Physical Defect

Someone in physical defect must try harder then others. For them, they can choose a special school
with special rolls.

c) Gender

Females reported greater overall strategy use than males in many studies (although sometimes males
surpassed females in the use of a particular strategy).

2) Psychology

a) Intelligence

The ability to meet and adapt to novel situations quickly and effectively.
The ability to utilize abstract concepts effectively.
The ability to grasp relationship and to learn quickly.

The great intelligence give more progress to the learning process.

b) A ention

A ention is concentration (mental focus, serious consideration). To get the good mark in the subject,
the student must pay a ention at the lesson, if he/she bored he probably will fail in that lesson.

c) Interest

Interest is persisting tendency to pay a ention to and enjoy some activity or content. If the lesson
doesn’t interesting to the student, the student can’t learn well.
d) Aptitude

Aptitude is the capacity to learn. Everyone have different aptitude. So, its time for us to use that
aptitude maximally for our best. The good way is to use the aptitude by study and practice as much
as we can do.

e) Motive

Motive is an effective-conative factor which operates in determining the direction of an individual’s

behavior to words an end or goal, consiously apprehended or unconsioustly. The teacher must have
good motive to get a ention from the students. More motivated students tended to use more
strategies than less motivated students, and the particular reason for studying the language
(motivational orientation, especially as related to career field) was important in the choice of
strategies.

3) Exhaustion

Exhaustion can happen in physic and psychology. Psychology exhaustion’s can be seen like bored, or
loose motivation, etc. In Physic’s like restless, lost of energy, etc. All of that can give bad impact to the
student. Psychological and Physical exhaustion can make disappear by sleep, get some rest, give the
variation in study, relaxation, pray, get some sport or call the psychiatry.

& External Factors

In external factors can be difference into three groups, like : family factor, school factor and social
factor.

1) Family factors

a) The way of parent’s educate

The way that parent’s educate give the big influence to their children. Because family is the first and
prominent educator.

b) Relations between each family

Relations between each family means relations between parent and their children, children with their
brother and sister, etc. If in that family have harmonious relations will created a success students.

c) The House’s Atmosphere

The best atmosphere is quite and peaceful. In that situations children will stand at home, also make
children study well at home.

d) Family’s Economic

Children must get the basic requirements such as foods, clothes, books, chair, table and many other
things. All of that requirement can get if his/her family have enough money.
e) Parent’s Understanding

Sometimes their children lost of interest in their subject, in that moment the parent must give them
support.

f) Cultural Background

Rote memorization and other forms of memorization were more prevalent among some Asian
students than among students from other cultural backgrounds. Certain other cultures also appeared
to encourage this strategy among learners.

2) School Factors

a) Teaching Method

Teachers must have training relevant to their own instructional situations in three areas: identifying
students’ current learning strategies through surveys, interviews, or other means; helping individual
students discern which strategies are most relevant to their learning styles, tasks, and goals; and
aiding students in developing orchestrated strategy use rather than a sca ered approach.

b) Curriculum

Students of different ages and stages of language learning used different strategies, with certain
strategies often being employed by older or more advanced students.

c) Learning Style

Learning style (general approach to language learning) often determined the choice of English
learning strategies. For example, analytic-style students preferred strategies such as contrastive
analysis, rule-learning, and dissecting words and phrases, while global students used strategies to
find meaning (guessing, scanning, predicting) and to converse without knowing all the words
(paraphrasing, gesturing).

d) The Relations between Students and Teacher

Teaching learning process happened between teacher and students. The teacher must cooperative in
his/her class.

Building upon a foundation of integrity, teaching as an ethical profession requires the interaction of
six essential behaviors:

Caring
Se ing high standards
Providing intellectually challenging learning experiences
 Organizing and managing classes to facilitate learning
Student centered
Reflecting

e) The Relations between Each Student

Create good relations between each other is necessary because it can give positive influence to their
study.

f) Discipline

Discipline at school not only for the teacher and the students, but also for every bodies in that area.
All of person at school must obeyed the rule. If nobody never break the rules the situation will always
under control.

g) Schedule

Good management in time will give positive impact for teaching-learning process.

h) The School’s Building

The size of school is equals with the students.

i) Type of Task

The nature of the task helped determine the strategies naturally employed to carry out the task.

j) A itudes and Beliefs

These were reported to have a profound effect on the strategies learners choose, with negative
a itudes and beliefs often causing poor strategy use or lack of orchestration of strategies.

k) Tolerance of Ambiguity

Students who were more tolerant of ambiguity used significantly different learning strategies in some
instances than did students who were less tolerant of ambiguity.

3) Social Factor

a) Students Activity in Their Society

We need to limit their society, so that didn’t disturb their study. We can choose the activity that
increase their study, like course, group discussion, etc.

b) Mass Media

The example of mass media are movie theater, radio, television, newspaper, magazine, etc. We need
to give wise guidance and control from parents and educators, in family, school and society.
c) Companionship

Influences from friends will more faster come in their mind. The students make relation with the
good friends. It will give him positive impact be er than negative ones.

d) Social Interaction

Social interaction also give the impact to their study. Many kinds of people around them. They need
to choose the right one.

The Teacher’s Role in Language Learning Process

I think that school is a place where one goes to learn but I also believe that there should be times
where fun is a necessity. That is why I think that a teacher should also have fun with the students.
Kids learn faster when they feel a racted to an exciting lesson. Teachers must not forget that kids get
born fast that is why creative lessons must be plane ahead.

The teacher must create a warm and protective environment but at the same time professional. If
students feel secure in the classroom the result will be shown in the academic progress. A good star
could be a mutual trust with each student. Teaches have the responsibility to know his/her students
in the classroom. Each day, the teachers show one of their a itudes that the students are unaware.
Also, the students do the same in order for the teacher to get to know them, too. This is a good
exercise to do because it benefits the whole class to break the ice. The first days most of the students
are afraid of the teacher because they do not know how is the teacher’s personality. It will change
until the point that the teacher and students discover to have common hobbies with each other.

The teacher needs to show respect toward the students so the students also respect the teacher.
Teacher must not forget the s/he teaches to different students who brings different students who
brings different traditions and customs because the students come from different backgrounds. “One
of the keys that is useful for teachers is to understand and accept the way students are acting.”

The following is a list of suggested activities which when presented may facilitate development
during the student/teaching experience.

Ä Initial Activities :

1) Handle classroom routines such as a endance, dismissal and perhaps lunch distribution.

2) Assume teacher’s duties – conduct assembly, clubs and other co-curricular activities.

3) Check students’ wri en work and keep necessary records, such as progress report, assignments
and projects and mark them.

4) Keep students’ in a healthy environment and thus keep them safe.

ü Organizational Activities
 1. Keep a notebook or idea file; include minute fill-in ideas such as games, songs, stories, sources of
information and materials, ideas for learning centers, bulletin boards, etc.
2. Make direct observations of classroom activities.
3. Plan a design for a classroom.
4. Become responsible for the general appearance of the classroom. (Cleanliness, arrangement of
charts, etc.).
5. Prepare bulletin boards.
6. Develop a repertoire of techniques for class management or handling individual behavior
problems. (Punishment, Time out, etc.).
7. Create an individual behavior management.

Conclusion

Factor Which Affect Language Learning Process, such as internal and external factors facilitate the
learning of the target language by the language learner. All language learners, needless to say, fulfill
factors which affect language learning process. Since the factors like physical, psychology,
exhaustion, family factors, school factors, social factor, etc. Affect the way in which language learners
learn the target language, it is reasonable to support all language learners must fulfill all that factors
to become successful learners. Another is successful learning centers require good classroom
management and well known rules and procedures. A productive learning environment will take
time to implement. The teacher may have to call the whole class together regularly in the beginning
to ensure that all rules and expectations are being adhered to. Remember, think big but start small.
Introduce a couple of centers per week. Finally, one of the most important thinks is never an
individual endeavor, and neither is teaching. Although teachers can feel quite isolated into their
classroom, it is important to remember that openness, collaboration an sharing are the keys to enrich
your teaching and your students’ learning. It is I call the Teaching English for Foreign Language
Community Triangle:

English Speaking Community

(learners, parents who speak

English well, student EFL
teachers from the university,
high school students, etc)

Fellow School Teachers

(subject/content or grade
level teachers and other EFL
teachers at your school)
