development of the theory of modern foreign language teaching make the people have new realization about the language learning and teaching. The theory proves that the teacher should have six main roles in their teaching, which are organizer, controller, assessor, prompter, participant and source of information (Wang Qiang, 2006). Therefore, the teachers in their teaching play multiply roles. They are the organizer, at the same time; they also control and urge the students’ learning. So, the teachers’ major duty in classroom teaching is to create the condition in which learning can take place. The long time education for the exam makes the students depend on the teachers and books excessively and confine the students’ development. Thus, the students lose the chances to learn English actively. So, the teachers should make the students know the aim to learn English is to communicate and tell them they must learn all kinds of knowledge for the needing of language use. On the other hand, the teachers should help students to change their roles. If they want to improve their English, they must change passive learning into active learning. The teachers should make the students realize that they no longer learn for the exam but for improving and developing themselves. The third step is that the teachers should change their own teaching concept. They should give the students priority, and the students become the main body of the learning from listener. In the process, the students use the knowledge and transform it into them owns; at the same time, they get the room for learning by themselves.
C Fostering and Sustaining Students’ Interest
This is very important. Many great educators have stressed the interest in learning. Einstein says, “Interest is the best teacher.” The famous educator Comenius says, “Interest is the main way to creating a happy and light teaching setting.” We should believe that every student holds a large potential to study and has a rich and unique inner world. So, in the process, the teachers should develop the students’ role as the main part and pay attention to their comprehensive development, foster and sustain their learning interest and help them set up the confidence to form the effective learning strategy and good learning manner. (Tricia, Hedge, 2002)
How do we stimulate and train the students’ interest?
1. Teachers’ Arrangement of Classroom Activities
To the students in the junior school, interest is power. If the teachers do not take and make the routine opportunities for students to communicate, they just send them the message that the purpose of the course is just to learn information about the language and pass tests. This means that many students are likely to lose motivation and see English as just another compulsory subject in the academic curriculum. So, it’s very important to train the students’ interest to love this course; and good teaching method is the major element. However, the students’ learning interest comes from teachers’ subjective efforts to a great extent. It needs the teachers observe and summarize carefully throughout the teaching process to train students’ interest. The activities of language are the main part of the class activities. These activities should be fit for the students’ characters in psychology、physiology、cognition and so on, and make the students learn language in happy, relaxed, and effective circumstances.
