  “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.

教学是师生传意互动的过程,不同的传意互动方式,其效果不同。教学过程的传意互动,核心是让学生在学习中学会学习、学会探究、学会创新。互动课堂教学的具体要求是:最大限度地发挥教师的主导作用,调动学生的学习积极性,给学生主动参与的机会,给学生留下思考的空间。它所关注的不仅仅是学生是否参与学习,更重要的是解决一个学生如何参与的问题,即如何发挥学生主体性的问题。我们所追求的是在学生期待得到新知识的时候,通过全

研究和实践表明,策略胜过知识本身。所谓语文学习记忆策略,是指学习者在完成语文学习记忆任务时选择、使用和调控学习程序、规则、方法、技巧、资源等的思维模式,这种模式是影响学习进程的各种因素间相对稳定的联系,其与学习者的特质、学习任务的性质以及学习发生的时空均密切相关,是一个有特定指向的认知场函数。我们认为,在语文学习记忆最起码应指导学生掌握以下基本策略:  1.口诀学习记忆策略。所谓口诀学习记忆策略,
