《英语课程标准》(实验稿)指出:激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣,使学生树立自信心是基础教育阶段英语课程的任务之一。许多研究表明,如果学生自认为不能胜任学习的话,即使他们实际上能够学好,他们仍可能失败甚至放弃努力。这说明,我们不仅要努力使学习任务具有趣味性,还必须想办法帮助学生树立学习的自信心,让学生体会到成功的喜悦,从而增强他们学好英语的信心。 The “English Curriculum Standard” (experimental draft) states: To stimulate and develop students’ interest in learning English and to help students build their self-confidence is one of the tasks of the English curriculum in elementary education. Many studies show that students may fail or even give up their efforts if they think they are not competent to learn even if they actually can learn well. This shows that not only must we strive to make learning tasks interesting, we must also find ways to help students build self-confidence in learning and make students feel the joy of success, so as to enhance their confidence in learning English.
