How to Cultivate the Students’ Interest in Learning English
Introduction
English is becoming more and more important with the development of modern society What’s more it is closely related to other subjects However it is difficult for the students to improve their scores English is also an important factor Most of the students usually show great interest in English at the beginning of learning English but less and less are interested in it from Grade Seven to Grade Nine Some of them don’t want to learn English and even some students begin to give up it As teachers it is necessary to let the students know the importance and necessity of learning English It is a very important step in English learning At the same time the writer thinks the right way is important and the interest of learning English is also an important factor Interest is the best teacher① so it is very important for an English teacher to help the students keep their interest in learning English As every road leads to Roman interest can lead one to anyplace to where he wants to go as farther as he can But how can we achieve this goal Only under the guidance of great efforts together with the strong interest can teachers help students learn English well and enjoy the happiness of English learning
Chapter I How to build a new type of teacherstudent relationship
Teacherstudent relationship directly restricts the students enthusiasm and the will to overcome difficulties and affect the efficiency of students awareness campaigns Nowadays the roles between teachers and students have changed greatly Teachers’ roles are not
settled any more and their roles have changed with the development of the society Students spend 5 days with their teachers a week The teachers must learn more about English knowledge and culture The important thing the teachers should remember is that they must change their attitudes to the students because the students are no longer containers which the teachers pour their knowledge in They are not only the students but also the teachers` friends The teachers should make friends with their students The teachers should care for the students at every aspect especially the less advanced students Every student longs for the teachers’ care and love and they care for the teachers’ good attitude to them very much Maybe a smile of the teachers can make a good student If a teacher always blames and even punishes his students when they can’t answer a question their selfrespect will be hurt Then the less advanced students will even fall behind other students In fact everyone has his merits and latent capacity Some students may be good at singing and some students may be good at drawing Teachers should always point out their merits and praise them all the time and patiently give them guidance and encouragement They may make great progress and get the other students’ respect and admire For example I have taught a student who lost selfconfidence of learning and didn’t communicate with others but he likes running I went to talk with him and asked him to do something for me such as collecting and handing out notebooks to shorten the gap between him and me I also encouraged him to show his merit Half a year later the student began to talk with others He made great progress in the terminal examination and got the other students’ respect and admire
Someone said Love is a kind of shapeless strength and one of the best teaching methods I believe this and always warn myself not to isolate and discriminate the less advanced student Now the boy has been a collage student He often calls me and tells me his study and life just like an old friend So I think the teachers are not only teachers but also their parents and their friends
ChapterП How to improve teaching methods
Being a teacher he or she should pay attention to protect students’ interest in learning English But teachers have some problems in this aspect The teachers are influenced by the traditional teaching methods The teachers are accustomed to following traditional
teaching modes to give their lessonsbut we can’t efficiently control the whole class and reach expected aims So teachers should use various methods according to different time different places and different persons to spur students’ interest in and out of class We can do as the following ways
1．Speak English in class
For most of Chinese students they have few real chances to speak English except in English class So teachers should encourage them to speak English in class as much as they can But in class it is not easy for teachers to let the students open their mouths Sometimes students behaved embarrassed and like children when they speak their low level English What the teachers should do is to encourage them to open their mouths to speak English though it is difficult at first Sometimes they want to ask something in English but they don’t know how to say it in English At that time what the teachers should do is to listen to them carefully and guide them We can create a scene and get the students to speak English Another way to encourage students to speak English is simply— to speak English ourselves as much as possible in class even though a lot of students can’t understand us at first If we are shy about speaking English how can we expect our students to open their mouths Teachers can begin with Good Very good OK Listen to me and so on Then add one or several sentences a day At the same time teachers should encourage the students to speak English after class It not only can help the students to improve their listening ability but also can help students improve their speaking ability
2 Create the cheerful learning environment
The students in primary school Grade Three start to learn English with great curiosity at the beginning and they think that English class is full of fun So they are interested in it What’s more it is easy for them to study it They don’t need to remember so many words and grammars The most of work that they do is to read and act But when they become middle school students so many words and grammar regulations need to be remembered learning English is not a joyful activity any more A lot of students think that it is a heavy burden for them So English teacher need not only to get the students to know the importance of it but also create a cheerful learning environment to spur students’ interest Then what should we do
(1) Using morden electric teaching aids to create a learning situation Every child is interested in cartoon movies The voice and scene can catch their eyes For example Where is the post office in JEB Grade Seven the main learning aims are asking and pointing ways So I use multimedia technology I made some slides with animations With the help of them the students can easily learn the words and phrases left right turn left turn right walk along and so on Teachers needn’t to say so much but can get a better result
(2) Using material objects or drawing some stick figures to stir the students’ interest
For the students who are in Grade Sevenit is difficult to understand their teachers when they only speak English in class So teachers should make full use of advanced teaching resources to teach and help the students to master language knowledge and language skills in a pleasant atmosphere For example when I taught the sentence pattern What’s this in English I asked the students to take out the things they had (such as books bags pencils pens rulers knives etc) then I hold up one of the objects and asked What’s this in English and answered myself It is a an … Sometimes drawing can help the teachers a lot When I taught nouns such as apple pear egg and so on I employed drawings If we explain apple is a kind of fruit the students don’t know the word fruit How can they understand us I just drew an apple on the blackboard and asked What’s this in English then they answered It’s an apple The students quickly understood the word In this way we can get the students to know more words like this Of course we can also use material objects to teach these words Then we can just show the students an apple and needn’t to say any Chinese words
(3) Setting Language situation
Atmosphere is very important for language learning One said if we talk with a baby who was brought up in an Englishspoken country since he was born he can speak English smoothly So speaking and listening abilities are very important for an English learner When I teach a conversation I often use a way of language situation I perform different roles and act out the conversation for the student first in different voice by imitating difficult roles then I will ask several students to perform different roles and act out the conversations Sometimes in order to stimulate the students’ interest Teachers may ask several students to act out the conversation in Chinese even in local Chinese In this way the students learned knowledge in a lively and joyful atmosphere and show great interest to English
(4) Collect new materials
Compared with the old materials new materials are fresh and close to the topic and content of students’ life As teachers we should make full use of advanced teaching resources to create a pleasant atmosphere for students Take Topic 2 Unit 7 in Project English Cooking is fun as another example it mainly tells the students the use of first second next then finally by making sandwiches But all of my students are from the country most of them have never eaten sandwiches They only saw them on TV So I used a new material that they all knew It is a kind of cake with meat and it is called 肉夹馍 in Chinese All the students know it and know how to make it When I asked Can you tell me how to make 肉夹馍 they answered loudly Of course I can At the same time some students began to tell the course with actions even the less advanced students began to speak in Chinese In the funny topic the students easily mastered the words first second then finally
3 Insert some games in class
Playing is a child’s natural way of learning Genevieve Roth② said New teaching idea promotes Learning in playing Please keep in mind when teaching English as a second language and teaching English as a foreign language that the classroom may be the students' only exposure to the language Games can make language learning a positive and exciting experience which will be important to every student They can guide the students master the knowledge by playing games If we can keep students motivated and engaged in the lesson the result can be incredible For example when I teach the numbers we play the number game The students say the numbers from one to one hundred one by one but when they meet three or the times of number three they can’t speak out the number Instead they can only clap Every student takes an active part in it They can master the language points in games easily
4 Give opportunities of success to every student
Always giving opportunities of success to students will let them get more sense of achievement Suhomlinski③once said The joy of success is a tremendous emotional power which enables students to have the desire to learn
Because most of the less advanced students have no chance to show themselves Some of them in class answer a wrong question or speak a wrong tone other students laugh at them After a long time he will lose interest in this language Teachers should love them and respect their rights Because they may experience less happiness of learning A famous psychologist once said small success can give one a sense of succeed which will help him a lot An English teacher should always give the students opportunities especially the less advanced students to show themselves
Every student wants to get a high score When they get a high score they will be confidence Or they will lose their interest In class teachers should praise students when they got success even a little the teacher must confess and praise them again and again Encourage the good students to try their best to get a higher score encourage the less advanced students to find their advantages to catch up with the other students Then every student will not feel that it is difficult to learn English For example teachers should ask the less advanced students to answer those easy questions in class and let the good students to answer the difficult questions for them What’s more teachers should set more items such as writing competition spoken English competition and so on After the items the good students will win small prizes from teachers such as a pen a notebook a flag and so on Of course when they got failed the teacher should give guidance and help instead of blaming and irritating them The less advanced students felt that they are not looked down by others and their progress became obvious day by day The teachers will be very satisfied with their progress
Chapter III How to foster the students to have a good learning habit
As we all know it is very important for every student to have a good learning habit A good learning habit makes contributions to foster students’ intelligence and help them get knowledge The proverb says the habit is the second nature A good habit is hard to obtain and easy to lose but a bad habit is easy to get and it is hard to get rid of it As students they shouldn’t put off what can be done today till tomorrow They should be careful to do their homework and listen carefully and be active in class However some students don’t have good habits They do not want to spend time previewing their lessons before class and reviewing after class They do not listen to the teachers carefully in class and do not have good habits of taking notes in class As teachers we should let students know that once the bad habits are formed and soon they will be very harmful to them Besides as the saying goes without a correct and p
roper method even a scholar with bright thoughts may explore blindly In fact some students are really very diligent but the result of learning is so depressing and frustrating What is the problem Maybe they should focus more attention on their right ways of learning As the Chinese saying Give a man fish you feed him a day Teach a man how to fish you feed him a life
1． Preview the lessons before class
Preview is necessary for every student in studying each subject especially in learning English Students can find questions by preview they can also find the keys in the next lesson What’s more they can know what they should prepare before the class English is a kind of language just like Chinese It also has so many words to remember The words just like the Chinese character All of us remembered that we always wrote the Chinese characters many times after school Of course English words need to be remembered in the same way Students can preview the words before the class then they can save a lot of time to do their homework Preview can improve students’ learning efficiency and help them develop selflearning ability
2 Focus students’ attention in class
For most rural students the most time to contact English is when they are in class So they should listen to their teachers carefully They should be active in class try to answer the teachers’ questions take an active part in the games that the teachers organize and take notes in time and so on As teachers what should we do is to prepare the lessons carefully and use teaching methods freely and do not bring our social life into the classroom In class teachers can also focus students’ attention by changing their tones The most important thing is to let every student feel that they are important When the students answer the questions teachers should listen to them carefully and speak highly of what they have done Remember never to stop them though their answers are far away from what you want and neglect the mistakes they have made At last dressing neatly can attract all students’ eyes when you appear in class
3 Review the lessons after class
He who learns but does not think is lost He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger Confucius④ said Students shouldn’t learn all of their book knowledge in several days before an exam After class revision is necessary Students can revise the key point that the teachers talked Of course they may check off the things that they feel they have fully mastered They can ask a friend parents or other family members to help them study when they are in trouble or confused Students can also have them act as the teacher and use the study material to ask themselves questions that the teacher might ask And it is good to study before doing their homework They can review their textbook any notes they took in class or any notes taken from the book or handouts Practice makes perfect Students must keep practicing after they have finished the homework Then just before the exam students can just go over their material and notes reread and understand the book and homework The examination may be very easy for the students who have learned in the method that I have mentioned
At last the attitude in learning English is very important too Every successful thing depends on the correct attitude First of all students should take their right attitude in English learning At the same time teachers have many things to do for their students They should try their best to find out more ways to spur students’ interest in and out of class
Conclusion
In this article through the analysis of students’ interest of learning English we know interest is very important in learning English Once the students are interested in learning English it is a pleasant thing for them to study Teachers should use various methods to stimulate students’ interest and help them cultivate good habits Only with the teachers’ right guidance and strong interest can students learn English well and enjoy the happiness of English learning

How to Cultivate the Students’ Interest in Learning English
Introduction
English is becoming more and more important with the development of modern society What’s more it is closely related to other subjects However it is difficult for the students to improve their scores English is also an important factor Most of the students usually show great interest in English at the beginning of learning English but less and less are interested in it from Grade Seven to Grade Nine Some of them don’t want to learn English and even some students begin to give up it As teachers it is necessary to let the students know the importance and necessity of learning English It is a very important step in English learning At the same time the writer thinks the right way is important and the interest of learning English is also an important factor Interest is the best teacher① so it is very important for an English teacher to help the students keep their interest in learning English As every road leads to Roman interest can lead one to anyplace to where he wants to go as farther as he can But how can we achieve this goal Only under the guidance of great efforts together with the strong interest can teachers help students learn English well and enjoy the happiness of English learning
Chapter I How to build a new type of teacherstudent relationship

ChapterП How to improve teaching methods
Being a teacher he or she should pay attention to protect students’ interest in learning English But teachers have some problems in this aspect The teachers are influenced by the traditional teaching methods The teachers are accustomed to following traditional

2 Create the cheerful learning environment
The students in primary school Grade Three start to learn English with great curiosity at the beginning and they think that English class is full of fun So they are interested in it What’s more it is easy for them to study it They don’t need to remember so many words and grammars The most of work that they do is to read and act But when they become middle school students so many words and grammar regulations need to be remembered learning English is not a joyful activity any more A lot of students think that it is a heavy burden for them So English teacher need not only to get the students to know the importance of it but also create a cheerful learning environment to spur students’ interest Then what should we do
(1) Using morden electric teaching aids to create a learning situation Every child is interested in cartoon movies The voice and scene can catch their eyes For example Where is the post office in JEB Grade Seven the main learning aims are asking and pointing ways So I use multimedia technology I made some slides with animations With the help of them the students can easily learn the words and phrases left right turn left turn right walk along and so on Teachers needn’t to say so much but can get a better result

Chapter III How to foster the students to have a good learning habit
As we all know it is very important for every student to have a good learning habit A good learning habit makes contributions to foster students’ intelligence and help them get knowledge The proverb says the habit is the second nature A good habit is hard to obtain and easy to lose but a bad habit is easy to get and it is hard to get rid of it As students they shouldn’t put off what can be done today till tomorrow They should be careful to do their homework and listen carefully and be active in class However some students don’t have good habits They do not want to spend time previewing their lessons before class and reviewing after class They do not listen to the teachers carefully in class and do not have good habits of taking notes in class As teachers we should let students know that once the bad habits are formed and soon they will be very harmful to them Besides as the saying goes without a correct and p

For most rural students the most time to contact English is when they are in class So they should listen to their teachers carefully They should be active in class try to answer the teachers’ questions take an active part in the games that the teachers organize and take notes in time and so on As teachers what should we do is to prepare the lessons carefully and use teaching methods freely and do not bring our social life into the classroom In class teachers can also focus students’ attention by changing their tones The most important thing is to let every student feel that they are important When the students answer the questions teachers should listen to them carefully and speak highly of what they have done Remember never to stop them though their answers are far away from what you want and neglect the mistakes they have made At last dressing neatly can attract all students’ eyes when you appear in class
3 Review the lessons after class
He who learns but does not think is lost He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger Confucius④ said Students shouldn’t learn all of their book knowledge in several days before an exam After class revision is necessary Students can revise the key point that the teachers talked Of course they may check off the things that they feel they have fully mastered They can ask a friend parents or other family members to help them study when they are in trouble or confused Students can also have them act as the teacher and use the study material to ask themselves questions that the teacher might ask And it is good to study before doing their homework They can review their textbook any notes they took in class or any notes taken from the book or handouts Practice makes perfect Students must keep practicing after they have finished the homework Then just before the exam students can just go over their material and notes reread and understand the book and homework The examination may be very easy for the students who have learned in the method that I have mentioned
At last the attitude in learning English is very important too Every successful thing depends on the correct attitude First of all students should take their right attitude in English learning At the same time teachers have many things to do for their students They should try their best to find out more ways to spur students’ interest in and out of class
