Abstract: The presentation explores motivation as a driving force in additional language learning and its close relationship with the affective factors that shape students’ educational experiences, including self-esteem, anxiety and the emotional climate of the classroom. Practical guidance will be offered to help teachers create positive socio-emotional contexts that foster learner autonomy, well-being and academic achievement in the learning of Spanish as an additional language.
