Der Einfluss externer und interner Faktoren im Fremdsprachenlernprozess

Abstract

The process of Foreign Language Learning is multifaceted and dynamic, constantly undergoing change. These changes arise from a variety of external and internal factors that shape the learning experience. External influences include the social and cultural environment in which learning takes place, as well as the quality of instruction. They establish the framework within which the learning process is structured and determine the opportunities for linguistic development. Internal factors, on the other hand, are closely tied to the individual characteristics of learners. Cognitive abilities, motivation, emotional states, and individual learning preferences play a significant role, as they influence how information is absorbed, processed and applied. These internal and external factors do not operate in isolation but are interdependent, forming a dynamic interplay that significantly affects the progression and success of foreign language acquisition.
