Learning motivation for learning activities by the dynamic mechanism, learning activities, to maintain the primary condition, complete, and thus affect learning effect. From the manifestation, learning motivation can be divided into the intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, it mainly by the association, the achievement motive and motivation for specific motives. Students' learning motivation level through training, training can improve. According to the characteristics of English teaching and law, train and motivate students' learning motivation, can use the following methods: a, stimulating the interest SuHuoM LinSiJi thinks, the cultivation of students' learning interest and thirst for knowledge is one of the teachers. Students' interests in English learning is not natural inclination of differences, but in education environment, the influence of the form as below. A careful analysis of the English learning motivation, lack of interest and poor grades of students will find that they don't interested in difficult > > > bad grades are not interested in more and more bad grades of orbit a vicious cycle. So to help students to exclude learning difficulties, arouse their interest, become the key to improve the teaching quality. Research shows that: "the elementary stage of learning is the key period of affective form." In this stage, the child's learning activities with a large degree of emotional tendencies, if a child has great interest in learning, curiosity and intense curiosity, not only can produce emotion transfer, and will make attention focused particularly and lasting, learning and skills quickly. Therefore, in our interest in education exploration, attaches great importance to students' learning interest and training. 1 and in English classroom teaching, induce organization the learning interest of the students.
The language is the thought tools. In order to make students thinking with English as soon as possible, in English classroom teaching of organization, it shall be possible to use English classroom teaching English to speakers, to eliminate the dependence and native interference, aided by gestures, movements and expressions, let students listen and understand the teacher's intentions, on the day of training students and remember to understand gradually. As to teach "with", recorder - repeatedly pointed your ears and signaled for students, through the recorder for repeatedly, students will understand. And as for teaching "Look" point, repeat eyes, then gestured to his lips, match with appropriate expressions, students can be learned. So, through the cumulative, students will understand a lot of classroom language, English language environment for the students to create, thus laid a foundation for the students to learn and understand directly, direct application of English. In English teaching, can give organization students find everything new and fresh feeling and attract the attention of students of English classes, they generate interest. 2, the use situation teaching and cultivate students' interest in learning.
Pupils younger age, the ability to accept abstraction, their perceptual more rational. Therefore, the visual teaching, especially for students, it has its special meaning. In classroom teaching, we should pay attention to creating context, use more pictures, listen, lets the student in certain language environments, say, By imitation, songs, in front of the student to paint pictures, lets the student plenties listen and understand. As Fruit (Fruit) in this lesson, the word can be prepared beforehand. Some In the classroom, take physical count to teach students said that students will soon meaning and pronunciation. And if they will let the students in the animal in the zoo saw with brief strokes, tiger tiger), (feet (monkey), the panda (etc), through the panda, listen to the tape KouXing imitate said. The students of "painting" the actual situation, they looked at his paintings, learning interest. So, will engage students in context, so that students in a state of consciousness and not to see, hear, feel, saying, go, go to grasp and use English. Using situation teaching, make the students actively participate in music teaching activities, secondary, attach importance to cultivating students' communicative competence. 3, using various teaching methods, consolidate the learning interest of the students.
Teaching method, teaching procession branch. Teaching method, can cause for students' learning interest relationship. English teaching of strong practicality, therefore, flexible methods to organize the student to carry on the wide range of language practice activity. For students, or say love, good imitation overly competitive psychological characteristics, and carry out various forms of activity, make the student in the cerebral cortex, extend and consolidate the excitement of strong study interest. Students' As students in secondary school in game play, so, Let the student in the song of songs, in 1a, pupil is lively, love singing love jump. According to this characteristic, should be put in the teaching process, to cultivate their interest. If, after learning the name of human organs, and I will teach them after the Head and shoulders "sing" (Head and shoulder), in order to deepen their understanding of words. Melody with the corresponding action, students interest. The song is boundless charm, finish teaching patterns, "I am a boy, a girl." the songs, plus elegant gesture, students will soon sang, and speak more fluently than before. Short, interesting songs and music, students learn in lively, relaxed and pleasant atmosphere naturally won English knowledge and skills, widened the field of vision, the development of the intelligence, improve the quality of teaching. Second, the teacher to stimulate interest, encourage and criticism belongs to the category of extrinsic motivation. Extrinsic motivation is often can be transformed into the intrinsic motivation to produce. Stability of the intrinsic motivation is to maintain the learning activities. Is English subjects, make the students need to learn the way many, here we are mainly discussed in three aspects as follows: 1, the use of social motive.
The future society, English will be occupied a very important position, the entrance exam, seek the ideal career and study abroad, international trade, international exchange, etc are inseparable from English, in this situation, let the students learning English needs is not a difficult task. 2 and cultivate aesthetic ability.
Make students in the learning process, generate pleasure is the effective way of learning motivation. In the process of teaching, if we can combine English language features and characteristics of thought and its cultural carrier, training, improve the function of student's English ability, so that students in aesthetic feeling, the process of learning experience pleasure, it is easy to form their stable intrinsic motivation. Like, Can be the same sentence in different contexts, make its produce different meaning, it is easy to arouse students' learning desire. In simple English essays, proverbs, humor, songs etc all can make students to experience the beauty of the English language. 3 and provide successful experience.
Achievement is the power to keep learning motivation for learning activities, which is one of a kind of affirmation and reward, so both in class, or small test, teachers should try every student has a successful experience. Example: for those students having difficulties in memorizing words, we will increase by reducing the number of frequency, time will be required if we do, the number of words, but the increase in certain times, make them if we do have the chance of success, Also available in other aspects of their advantages, such as reading comprehension ability, specifically for their creating chances of success, also can use various forms of competition, make various levels of students have the opportunity to develop your strengths. Third, encouraging pupils, although small, but they are strong self-respect, they themselves in teachers, students and parents of the status of all very seriously, teachers, students and parents give their assessment of their learning activities have greatly affected. Encourage others can make them produce confidence and learning. Instead, they will make much criticism produce negative psychology?, maintain their motivation to learn. Learning English in listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities have higher requirements, plus the language environment and other disciplines, the pressure will meet students such difficulties. When they were in the learning process, setbacks regarding, the teacher encourages appear particularly important. Usually we should be sure to English learning their efforts patiently lead them to learn scientific attribution, teachers to express their confidence, managed to make a family, they give students the stress aspects promote to continue their efforts towards the direction of development of learning. In addition, the surface batch operations, such as study results, feedback, scientific use of rewards and punishments, etc, all can education groups to stimulate students to learn English and maintain motivation of beneficial effect of produce. People's motivation to learn is through training, training and can be improved. But should first training their personality, such as independence and self-confidence, and self realization needs, and the training can have too much of compulsion. In addition, should also pay attention to the training of two problems: one is always keeping a relaxed, harmonious atmosphere, the psychology of each trainee words and actions to fully affirmation and respect to make sure they can improve themselves, which is with confidence. Second is the training process, especially stressed self, self improvement, and that they have the importance of self-consciousness.
