Abstract

Specific personality factors such as self-esteem, willingness to communicate, inhibition, risk taking, anxiety, empathy, extroversion/introversion and motivation have been identified as having important roles to play in second language education. The study was conducted by way of library research and an open-ended questionnaire administered to graduate students pursuing a Master's program related to English language teaching and language studies. The current thinking on the factors involved, including cultural and religious factors, indicate that each of the personality factors is relevant for successful second language acquisition.
