Affective strategy is an indirect strategy of the language learning strategy (LLS). Mandasari & Oktaviani (2018) indicated affective strategy is the most suitable strategy to motivate students in learning the second language. Students will be able to engage with their feelings and diminish the difficulties they face by motivating themselves. According to Lavasani & Faryadres (2011), Oxford classified the strategy as one’s control over their self-esteem as to create positive values in language learning. It is one of the characters of a good language learner whereby students can use positive factors to boost their language learning. According to Rossiter (2003), affective strategy helps students to cope with language learning whereby they will be able to relate the learning environment to their personal strength of learning. In other words, students will be able to solve any incoming problems while learning the language. It is an important fact that contributes to the enhancement of students’ speaking skills. The positive environment creates a positive impact on students. Thus, obstacles in language learning are easy to be alleviated.
