Language learning is a complicated process which is influenced by many factors, including cognitive factors, environmental factors and affective factors. The importance of affective factors in language learning has gained increasing attention in recent years. Based on the affective filter hypothesis (Krashen, 1985), this study mainly investigates four important affective factors, namely, attitude, character, inhibition, and teacher-student empathy. Through a questionnaire survey, this study analyzes the current situation of learning affections of high school and college students, and compares their influence on second language acquisition. The results show that attitude, inhibition, and teacher-student empathy affected high school students more than college students, and character affected neither high school students nor college students. The results provide some implications for English teaching.
