5、nes.I.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 Diction

6、ary of 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

7、 value; 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

8、; the 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 unwillin

9、g it 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

10、 use 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 studentsThe teacher should realize that he is not only a good teacher but also a helpful friend to the students. Teach

11、ers 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

12、results 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 st

13、udents 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 confiden

14、ceIt 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

15、him 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 y

16、our 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 stud

17、ents, 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 class1. Using situation method in teachingLanguage 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 methodCommunicative teaching

21、 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 intere

22、st, 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.

24、g 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 teach

25、ing 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 opportunity

26、 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 mig

27、ht 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 g
