“Interest is the best teacher.” Interest can stimulate the students ’enthusiasm and initiative to the highest level. It is important to make students take interest in English .Teachers have to think of many ways to make students interested in English and let them feel English learning interesting. Only in this way can they learn and have a good “harvest”. But what are the ways to develop students’ interest?
At the beginning of learning English, it is important for the teachers to make the students have a better understanding of it. Teachers should tell them why Chinese students learn English. What is language about English? Only in this way can the students realize the importance of mastering English for the country. They will get a right motivation to learn English well. “Motivation is some kind of drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action.” There are two kinds of motivation: instrumental motivation and integrative motivation. Integrative motivation comes from one’s love and interest in the subject. One of the most important aspects in basic education is to foster students’ emotion as a goal when teaching them the subjects. Teachers should pay attention to the positive emotion in teaching practice and improve our teaching by making full use of the positive effect of emotion. So it is necessary for teachers to have a good relationship between teachers and students.
Successful teaching depends on a harmonious teaching and learning atmosphere between teachers and students. It is important to build a good relationship between teachers and students, which is a tie connecting the teachers and the learners. The relationship between teaching and learning also has something to do with how teachers and students exchange their ideas and emotions. The relationship between teachers and students has an effect on controlling the emotion. “It is never too old to learn” It is very important to improve the quality of teachers. With the development of society, the requirement for teachers’ is improved. To be a successful teacher, he has to have much knowledge, through which he can keep his English up-to-date. A good method in learning English should at least include the followings:
(1)Self-study is the method to study actively by the student himself. It is a very important skill in English learning. After class, the teacher should teach students how to take notes, choose suitable reference books and use them correctly so that they can solve the problems they meet by themselves.
(2)The teacher should make it clear to tell them how to deal with different kinds of exercises, and give them right instructions on how to train the ability to express themselves in both written and spoken form. Students need to be aware that they have to do various kinds of homework like written exercises, compositions or study is the best way to encourage student autonomy. What is more, teachers should choose the right task for the students. When the students form good learning habits, they’ll find it easy to learn a foreign language well and take more interest in it.
(3).Students are usually sensitive to their teacher’s attitude towards them. A teacher must love her job. If she really enjoys her job, that will make the lesson more interesting. Teachers who are pleased with what they are doing tend to have a negative effect on their students. “A good teacher is an entertainer in a positive sense, not a negative sense.”
(4)Teachers have to be careful when they point out students’ mistakes in class. If they do it in an insensitive way, they can upset their students and lose their confidence. It is important to praise students for their success. Teachers can use encouraging words such as ‘good’, ‘well done’, ‘fantastic’, etc. to show that students are really doing well. Students can be more active in English class and the English class will be more interesting.
Suitable activities can arouse the students’ interest in learning English and can give them the chance to use English. They are a great help to English teaching. Some activities are:
(1) collective activities;
(2) group activities;
(3) competitions;
(4) writing activities;
(5) games. These activities don’t need much room and time and they are easy to organize.
All in all, interest is the foundation of success. If the students become interested in English, they will feel English learning is not a burden but a kind of amusement. The teachers have reached the goal.
