The affective factor has the same important status as cognition factor， and it plays an important role in TEYL. This study aims to carry out questionnaire and experiment to identify how the affective filter hypothesis influences the pedagogy and what Krashen’s affective filter hypothesis can enlighten in teaching English to young learners. Through exploring theoretical foundation， the result of the author’s experiment shows that affective filter hypothesis theory is an efficient way for the young learners to know how to learn and for the teachers to know how to teach English. In addition， by comparative analysis， the results are obtained from the experiment and questionnaires. The conclusion can be seen that to a large extent， the degree of learners’ motivation， self-confidence and anxiety have influence on the learners. Finally， on the basis of previous studies and the author’s own ideas， the majority of suggestions are proposed in the article.
