Teaching Methods & learners’ Interest(2)

3. Full Scaled Implementation of the Solutions
This part of my study was conducted during March 14, 2007~April 6, 2007. (Three Weeks)
3.1 Get on well with students
Teaching and studying in a pair of contradiction. How to get on well with students and teachers is very import to complete the teaching purpose. The teenager’s mental state characteristics tell us, the students of this age like being close to teachers. If they have good will to a certain teaching, they are interested in this teacher’s lesson and will spend lots of time and energy studying this lesson (subject). Of course, as a result, they will get good grades. This kind of phenomenon may be what everyone often says “Love me, Love my dog”. Whereas, if they don’t like a certain teacher, because of psychology of aversion, they don’t wish to learn or don’t study this teacher’s lesson. We often see this kind of phenomenon. So, the teachers must get along well with students, under the students’ interest, loving, change of morale, concern the students everywhere, take good care of them, respect them, help students at the right moment: Let you become not only a worthy of students’ eyes. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the teachers can’t criticize their weakness, can ignore. But the same of purpose of criticism and commendatory is for taking good care of them. As a result, critical ways is more important than criticism itself. Let them do not harm the sense of pride, let them feel animadversion from the heart is a sincere love, is for helping them. Like this, there is harmonious, mutually agreeable relation of teachers and pupils, students have interest to proceed studying.
In order to get on well with students, I often stay at school instead of going home, take part in all kinds of sports with them, for example, play basketball, play tennis, play games and so on. When having a rest, I talk about all kinds of titles about life, about studying, about motions, and so on, with them. From it, I know lots of thing about them in their hearts. They long for having English and more. Little by little, they long for having English class and seeing me. Of course, they can have class more carefully.

3.2 Get well ready for teaching
If the teachers want to give a successful English class, to get well ready for teaching is very important. How to get well ready for teaching?
At first, teachers must look through the textbook as much as possible and understand the textbook. When I really understand it, I can find out the mainly and important knowledge and make it in an order.
Then, what I need do is to think over how to give out this lesson, of course, I must still consider students’ situation. For example, how is knowledge and base what they have had? Which ways are fit for them? What knowledge can’t they understand? Imagine what will happen in the class, and how to solve it, and so on.
After thinking textbook and students’ situation, I should prepare for tools what I need during the course.
Last, I write out each statements of every class on the book.
3.3 Great a relaxed and pleased study environment
Traditional teaching mode and methods, the teachers always instills to students, the students have to be forced to accept knowledge negatively and passively. They don’t feel relaxed and pleased, they only fell tired and boring, as the result, they aren’t interested in English. At last, this leads to pide into two administrative levels; the teaching quantity is not gook.
How classroom environment is, influences to arouse students’ study interest seriously. The students should create relaxed and pleased study environment for students. For attainting the aim, the teachers fill with hot liver, get into the classroom whole-heartedly. The students can have smiling on the face and kind eyes as well as good spirit. While, the teachers should have pure, unadulterated, tunnel and fluent spoken English, norm and beautiful writing, reasonable design on the Bb and so on.
For the sake of traditional teaching that downplay impression to people, the teachers, the teachers fuse teaching in joy, action combination, combine studying and practice, teachers and students match.
Before class, the teachers can tell a joke or a byword with English that students can understand roughly according to content of course. Or students show their English conversation practices for three minutes, give freedom lectures, talk freely and sing an English song together. All the activities can arouse students’ interest and get ready for completing teaching.

An English proverb says, “A good beginning is half dome”. To lead into the new lesson must pay attention to the art. According to the content of course, you can establish a suspense to attract students, can also put a question that person think deeply to hold students, can begin through some object and shows. During teaching, can’t only read the textbook loudly. You must be good at using persons and things in the classroom. The language always connects with the scene. No scene, no language. When there is scene, students have deep impression to language. Learning is so interesting, students can grasp language well. The teachers explain the details in terse and lively language. And, to change to explain for asking questions, students who are not an on-looker have a large number of time to take part in studying and practices, practice when studying, study while practicing. Only like this, students feel interested in it. Pay attention to making students feel happy after success. Different administrative level students can go to practice different level language materials. Like this, each student can feel successful with the achievement. From it, students have more interest, the enthusiasm is doubly. Once students make a mistake, the teachers needn’t be angry and scold them, pay attention to correcting this mistake ingeniously, protecting students’ self respect. A class is the whole work of an art, there is not only a good beginning but also a good ending. According to different circumstance, the teachers can stay a puzzling question, broadcast text record once and let students sum up main contents or sing a song etc.
In a word, let students feel relaxed, pleased and interested in a lesson all the time.
3.4 Flexible and persified teaching in the class
A single teaching method is dry and dull. Through that is a good method, if that’s often used, it will lose good results. For arousing students’ interest, keep and consolidate the interest, the teachers must assiduously study teaching material carefully, design different methods of teaching according to the contents. For example:

3.4.1. Lead the competition mechanism to come in the English classroom teaching, open the exhibition contest, transfer study interest.
3.4.2. Help to remember with the formula, increase the enthusiasm of learning English.
3.4.3. Let students create teaching aid, stir up to study the English interest.
3.4.4. Weave the short play themselves, transfer study positive.
3.4.5. Move the students’ interest, stir up them to want to study knowledge.
3.4.6. Take measures suited to local conditions, induct to study the English interest.
3.5 Combine theory with practice
Classroom instruction for forty minutes is the most important. The teachers should concentrate their energy and catch the teaching quantity of 35 minutes. But students want to study English well and they only spend several English lessons is not enough. So we should also develop extracurricular teaching activities, but this kind of activity shouldn’t go on classroom teaching, shouldn’t also have no organization and discipline. According to different class, different level, different fondness of all students, the teachers may organize them properly. For example, train the backbone for the purpose, organize English game, have a concert and lecture competition, spell the words, hold composition contests, hearing competes, etc… in a class, the same grade or the whole school. The purpose is for making beautiful and colorful life for students and strengthening knowledge studying environment, develop students’ interest. The purpose of all kinds of activities is for enlivening students’ lesson outside life, strengthen lesson inside studied, create English atmosphere, develop students’ interest to study English, combine classroom with extracurricular.

4. Project design
My hypothesis is that learners’ interest in studying is increased by better organization and teaching methods. Moreover, my new assignment activities should have a real information value so that students have a real purpose to communicate.
I designed three activities to be tried out in three weeks. And these activities are reported as follows.
