The emergence of positive or negative attitudes towards language learning, also
known as the affective factors, can significantly affect not only students' academic but also
private lifetime. According to Henter (2013), negative attitudes and lack of motivation of
learners can turn out to be the major stumbling block to language learning. However,
Henter’s hypothesis is limited because there are many other reasons which can affect
students’ learning processes such as feeling anxious towards a language due to their
personal experiences. Thus, the aim of the present paper is to analyze students’ life histories
based on their language experiences, also known as narratives, at Universitat Jaume I in
order to find out if any affective factors were present during the acquisition of a specific
language. The analysis will be based on semi-structured interviews using 7 questions which
will be freely answered by multilingual students between 21 and 27 years old. The study will
seek to observe the affective factors which have influenced students more deeply, according to
their narratives. Drawing from the semi-structured interviews and the analysis of the
resulting narratives, the results revealed that most of the students have become multilinguals
thanks to: 1) motivation and positive attitudes they have received from the people
surrounding them; 2) positive attitudes because of their self-study watching TV series and
talking with foreign friends. Nonetheless, there was one result coming out of the blue which
had to do with religion affecting positively a devotee in her private lifetime. [-]
