1、HowtoArouseStudentsInterestinEnglishLearning AbstractInterest is the most active element in studying English and it is also the effective stimulant to study. This aritical presents some opinions and methods about how to arouse the students interest in English learning. I think it will be helpful for
2、 the teachers and our students.Key words: Interest, English learning,Einstein once said: “Interest is the best teacher”.The students will not feel that learning is a burden if they are interested in studying. They will put their hearts into learning actively. Arousing the interest of the students is
3、 the key to learn English well. Learning interest can promote the students to throw themselves into English studying. It also can enrich the students knowledge, open the students mind and make up for a weakness of intelligent development. But how to arouse the learning interest? Learning interest ca
4、n not produce spontaneously. All kinds of social factors are influencing the studying of the students. The teachers should arouse the students plan fully and purposefully to make the students interested in learning and transform the needs from the family, society and school into the internal ones.I.
5、The definition and function of interest Interest is the state of wanting to learn or know and it is also the power to hold ones concern or curiosity. Interest, as one of the nonintellectual factors, is defined as people and organizations concerned in some particular activity in Longman Dictionary of
6、 Contemporary English. According to the theory of intrinsic motivation, it is an innate impulse to show ones ability and self-confidence. And in the view of the theory of ego efficiency, it is derived from the feeling of satisfaction to achieve some showings, while in the theory of expectation value
7、; it refers to the fascination of the tasks to be completed to the learner. We learn from all these definitions that interest plays an important role in learning. Confucius, the great educationalist of ancient China, once pointed out: “the man who knows it is not as good as the man who likes it; the
8、 man who likes it is not as good as the man who takes delight in it”. If your learning reaches the stage that you will know it because you take interest in it, you have entered the most enjoyable stage of learning. Where the heart is willing it will find a thousand ways but where it is unwilling it
9、will find a thousand excuses. The main task of a teacher is in every possible way leading the students into the most enjoyable stage of “they will know it because they delight in it”. There is no exception to English learning. Interest is also a spirit in studying English. So the teacher should use
10、all kinds of ways to arouse the students interest in studying English.II. The way to arouse the students interest in studying English1.Set goodrelationship between teachers and students The teacher should realize that he is not only a good teacher but also a helpful friend to the students. Teachers
11、must pay a great attention to harmonizing the relations between them and their students so as to arouse the students interest in studying English. Good relationship between them will provide happy and relaxed situation. Many psychology tests have proved that the students will generally get good resu
12、lts in their study when they are happy and relaxed, and they will get bad results when they feel nervous and depressed. A lot of practice have also shown that the students are quick in thinking and full of enthusiasm for studying when they are in high spirits. So the teacher should arouse the studen
13、ts interest in studying English. The teacher who cherishes his students will surely win their love and respect. Since the students love and esteem their teacher, they will love the course he teaches. This is just like an old saying: “Love me, love my dog”.2 .Helping students to build up confidence I
14、t is true that every student is eager to make progress in his studies. Once the progress has been made, he will have the sense of achievements. As a result, he is full of interest, and makes still further progress. At any time when a student fails in the examination, a teacher shouldnt criticize him
15、 hastily.The teacher should encourage the student to study diligently again and get good marks next time. When the student makes progress, Teacher should give praise to the students even if they make very small progress , use the encouraging words , such as Good , OK, CLEVER and use “try” , “Do your
16、 best “,” I believe you can do better next time.”, which can encourage students and help them build self-confidence instead of “No” , “ You cant “ , then they can learn English harder and harder and get better achievement .Getting the praise from the teacher is a great joy and success to the student
17、s, especially to the bottom students. Therefore the teacher should use every possible way to help the students to build up confidence.III. The way to arouse the students interest in the class 1. Using situation method in teaching Language is the means of communicating with each other, and the final
18、purpose of learning a language is to obtain the ability to communicate with others fluently. In class the teacher should try to use material objects, CIA or pictures to make the students see butterflies, birds, hills, water, rives, etc. The teacher tries to widen the students view to lead them into
19、the colorful world of language, which will summon up the students interest and give them the charming sense of beauty. Under this circumstance, the students will be carefree and joyous to listen to the teacher attentively. In this case, students can make practice with great eagerness. By using diffe
20、rent kinds of examples, the teacher can give various materials to his class and the possibility of enjoyment to his students. And situation teaching method is really the effective way to arouse the students interest in studying English. 2. Using the communicative teaching method Communicative teachi
21、ng method is also the good way to arouse students interest. A language is not learned only by teaching, but by drilling. one of a famous linguist, said: “The method of learning foreign language is to practice, practice, and practice again. There is no other ways to go.” In order to arouse their inte
22、rest, the teacher should use the communicative method to train the students and choose suitable materials for them to practice. In communicative teaching method, there are many typical ways to arouse the students interest. such as “pair-work”, “group-work”, “ask and answer”, “ role- play” “free talk
23、” etc.3. Using English songs, matches and short play to arouse the students interestThese methods can create an active class atmosphere and adjust the students emotion and the most important is that they can arouse the students interest in learning. Most children enjoy singing English songs and play
24、ing games.These methods not only can arouse the students interest but also can consolidate the diphthong and consonant.IV. The way to arouse the students interest out of English classAs we know, in middle schools English teaching hours are quite limited. It is far from being enough to accomplish tea
25、ching students the language skills that are required by the state general syllabus, if your English teaching is only restricted to classroom teaching. Especially when you teach a big class, the classroom teaching often tends to be teacher-centered. Thus students are given little or limited opportuni
26、ty for practicing what they have learned in class. In this situation, on one hand, the students tend to forget the language knowledge learned in class easily. On the other hand, the students might lose their interest gradually. Therefore, by organizing English extra curriculum activities, teachers m
27、ight provide students with opportunities to practice the language in actual situation so as to foster their English.There are various kinds of English extra curriculum activities for the teacher to choose to consolidate the students English knowledge and arouse their interest. For example:1. English
28、 games English games can help students learn English with pleasure, and arouse their interest in learning English, so teachers use them in the class and out of class.English games might include: word guessing, word spelling, sentence combination, role-play, searching for things and memory games, etc
29、.2. Listening practiseListen to radios or watch the English news on TV every day. Little by little, your students will open eyes and improve a lot in English.It can alsohelp to arouse their interest in learning English.3. English corner and evening partyEnglish corner and evening party is a lively a
30、nd fascinating activity. Ithelps to develop students skill in using English synthetically, and especially improves students abilities of oral reading and oral English. The most obvious advantage is that it involves all students and arouses the students interest. The English corner and evening party
31、can include: singing songs, reading or reciting English poems, telling stories, role playing, or acting short plays, etc.VI. ConclusionIn fact, English teaching on the basis of interest is most efficient. Because interest can cultivate the students great initiative in acquiring knowledge and their i
32、ndependence in studying English. Teachers should pay much attention to the interest in the process of teaching. And the research how to arouse the students interest in studying English becomes more and more important. teachers should put the theory into practice to achieve the final goal of arousing
33、 the students interest efficiently.Notes1.吴道存 How to teach English well effectively_Experts on English teaching 人民教育版社 1993 page402.

Luo Qian Arouse Students Interests in Studying English, 2006生命列车The Train Of Life1. 不久以前，我读了一本书。书中把人生比作一次旅行。2. 人生一世，就好比是一次搭车旅行，要经历无数次上车、下车; 时常有事故发生; 有时是意外惊喜，有时却是刻骨铭心的悲伤 3.
35、降生人世，我们就坐上了生命列车。我们以为我们最先见到的那两个人-我们的父母，会在人生旅途中一直陪伴着我们。 4. 很遗憾，事实并非如此。他们会在某个车站下车，留下我们，孤独无助。他们的爱、他们的情、他们不可替代的陪伴，再也无从寻找。 5. 尽管如此，还会有其他人上车。他们当中的一些人将对我们有着特殊的意义。 6. 他们之中有我们的兄弟姐妹, 有我们的亲朋好友。我们还将会体验千古不朽的爱情故事。7. 坐同一班车的人当中，有的轻松旅行。8. 有的却带着深深的悲哀 还有的,在列车上四处奔忙，随时准备帮助有需要的人 9. 很多人下车后，其他旅客对他们的回忆历久弥新 但是，也有一些人，当他们离开座位时，
36、却没有人察觉。10. 有时候，对你来说情深义重的旅伴却坐到了另一节车厢。你只得远离他，继续你的旅程。11. 当然，在旅途中，你也可以摇摇晃晃地穿过自己的车厢，去别的车厢找他 12. 可惜，你再也无法坐在他身旁，因为这个位置已经让别人给占了 .13. 没关系。旅途充满挑战、梦想、希望、离别 就是不能回头。因此，尽量使旅途愉快吧！14. 善待旅途上遇见的所有旅客，找出人们身上的闪光点。15. 永远记住，在某一段旅程中，有人会犹豫彷徨，因为我们自己也会犹豫彷徨。16. 我们要理解他人，因为我们需要他人的理解。17. 生命之谜就是：我们在什么地方下车？坐在身旁的伴侣在什么地方下车？我们的朋友在什么地方
37、下车？我们无从知晓 18. 我时常这样想：到我该下车的时候，我会留恋吗？我想我还是会的。和我的朋友分离，我会痛苦。让我的孩子孤独地前行，我会悲伤。 我执著地希望在我们大家都要到达的那个终点站，我们还会相聚 19. 我的孩子们上车时没有什么行李，如果我能在他们的行囊中留下美好的回忆，我会感到幸福。20. 我下车后，和我同行的旅客都还能记得我，想念我，我将感到快慰。21. 献给你, 我生命列车上的同行者, 祝您旅途愉快!1. Not long ago, I read a book, in which a mans life was compared to a journey.2. The life
38、 of a man is just like a hitchhiking，during which many times we go up and down. Now and then things will happen accidently, some of which are to be unexpected excitement，while some heart-breaking sorrows. 3. When first embraced the world，we are already on the train of life. We take it for granted th
39、at the first two persons, our parents, whom we are encountered with, will accompany us all the way.4. Sadly，things do not go on as we thought.Our parents will get off the train at a certain station，leaving us, bereft and helpless.Their love and emotion to us and their irreplaceable company can be fo
40、und in nowhere.5. However，there will be somebody else who will get on the train. Some of them will have special meaning to us.6. Some of them may be our siblings , relatives and friends, and we will also expereince the imperishable love.7. Some of our travelling companions are quite light-hearted on
41、 the way.8. While some may bear immense sorrow.Still some ,back and forth, are ready to hold out their hands for others who need help.9. Some people alight off the train, yet they are still kept in the mind of the other passengers for long;some, to the opposite, leave their seats without being notic
42、ed.10. Sometimes, the one,who is dear to your heart, has huddled into another carriage. Nothing but one you can do is just to keep on going, far away from him.11. Of course, during the journey, you may stagger to another carriage to look for him.12. Its a pity that you will never seat yourself besid
43、e him because the seat has been engaged by others. 13. Never mind. The journey is full of challenges,dreams, hopes and departures- but only one thing is that you cant turn back. So, have a good journey with heart and soul.14. Show your good-will to all the passengers you are encountered with, and fi
44、nd the merits of theirs.15. Remeber that someone may oscillate just as we do in the journey.16. We should understand others just as we need others understanding.17. The enigma of life is：Where shall we get off the train of life?And how about the companions beside us?And our friends?We dont know.18.
45、Sometimes I think：When my time comes to get off the train，shall I miss it？I think I will.It is a suffering when I part with my friends.I will be sorry for leaving my kids going alone.I firmly hold that when we get to the terminal，we will have another reunion.19. When my kids get on the train of life
46、, they have only little luggage in their travelling bags. However,if I can leave the beautiful memory in them,I will be happy. 20. After getting off the train of life, I will be content if my fellow passengers will remember me and miss me.21. To you , the companions on my train of life.May you have a good journey!
