Psikologi Pendidikan

Affective Factors and Individual Differences in English Language Learning explores the psychological, emotional, social, and personal factors that shape how learners experience and succeed in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Recognizing that every learner has unique abilities, preferences, backgrounds, emotions, and motivations, this book provides a comprehensive perspective on learner diversity in English language education. The book discusses six key areas: individual differences; learning styles, abilities, and special educational needs; social interaction; identity and self-concept; motivation; and anxiety and self-regulated learning. It examines how these factors influence learner engagement, confidence, academic achievement, and language development, while connecting theoretical perspectives with practical implications for EFL classrooms. By integrating educational psychology with English language learning, this book offers valuable insights for creating inclusive, supportive, and learner-centered learning environments. It is a useful academic resource for students, teachers, educators, and researchers seeking to better understand learners and develop more responsive and effective approaches to English language teaching.
