　　Pedagogical Implications
　　Through the study， the researcher has got lots of pedagogical implications. Teachers should try to create good classroom atmosphere. Relaxed and harmonious study atmosphere can help students focus their attention on study and be confident in participating different kinds of study activities. Teachers should also make full use of multimedia tools in teaching. Teachers can let students watch English movies and flashes to enlighten them to think actively and finish teaching tasks. What’s more， teachers should often praise students in order to encourage them to study harder and stimulate their study interest. The researcher always believes that teachers’ praise and encouragement have significant effects on students’ study motivation. Improving students’ autonomous learning ability in English is not an overnight thing， teachers have to improve their own qualities and constantly explore and summarize teaching experience in teaching practice. Meanwhile， they should try to achieve the role changing and make students be the master of study.
