First of all, the authors of the paper chose 307 college students of Northeast Forestry University to finish the experimental survey in order to understand the basic situation of college students' emotional state, then collected their scores of CET-4, and made a correlational analysis between the five affective factors and English learning achievements. Statistics analysis shows that the students' motivation and self-esteem are positively correlated with language achievements; anxiety has a negative influence on language achievements and personality(extroversion and introversion)has little impact on English learning achievements.
