摘要:20世纪60年代，随着人文主义心理学和二语习得理论的深入研究，学生的学习方式成为了英语教学中的焦点。越来越多的研究者们关注情感因素对语言习得的影响。外语学习焦虑作为情感的重要因素之一，对语言习得的有效性产生巨大作用。毫无疑问，它对学生的课堂英语学习的影响力也是不容忽视的。以往研究表明，焦虑过高或过低都对学生英语习得带来不良影响，而只有适度的焦虑才能促进学生英语习得。

　　　在中国大多数的英语习得都是在课堂内进行的。课堂上各种因素都对学生的焦虑产生或多或少的影响。而英语教师作为课堂上的主要因素，其不当的反馈方式是学生产生焦虑的主要因素之一。以前的研究很少从教师角度去分析学生焦虑产生的原因。为了弥补这个不足，本文以人文主义理论和二语习得理论为基础，从教师课堂反馈来研究其对学生焦虑的影响。
