alleryWhat should a teacher do to keep the affective filter low?
ACorrecting every error at once
BDaily oral tests for all
CPublic marks ranking
DA calm, interesting classroom
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. A calm, interesting classroom
1. The filter rises with anxiety, self-doubt and boredom.
2. It can be reduced by sparking interest, providing low-anxiety environments and building self-esteem.
3. Instant correction, frequent testing and public ranking add pressure and so raise the filter.
4. The step that lowers it is the calm, interesting classroom.
**Why not the others:** Correcting every error, daily oral tests and public ranking add stress, which keeps the filter up.
