Psycho/socio phenomenon where individual evaluates competence and self, according to values. General: stable for mature adult, resistant to change. General assessment of self-worth over time and challenges. What the learners think attributes to their success/failure; how ppl explain causes of their own successes/failures. Learner feels capable of doing task = good effort is devoted. Bad efficacy = blame failures to external factors. Defenses to protect fragile ego from threats to value system during change. Higher self-esteem and ego strength = withstand threats = lower defences (children) Create safer spaces to take risks, communicate willingly, trial and error. Alienations: critical me vs performing me, native culture vs target culture, me vs teacher, me vs classmates. Moderate ideal, chooses risks based on knowledge. Fear: looking ridiculous, listener not understanding, failure to communicate, alienation, loss of identity. Establish affective framework so learners feel comfortable taking risks.
