Cultivating students39。s own learning process independently, including making study goals, being clear about the study content, adapting to the learning environment and overing psychological problems. B. Characteristics 1. Setting goals and making plans before learning Drawing up learning plans can improve one’s learning. Based on their own reality, every student should have his own learning objectives, learning to arrange selflearning time and learning task. Besides, a good learning plan makes the students clink their learning achievement to the goals of learning, which makes learning process a clear purpose, so as to promote the realization of the target of the learning. 2. Monitoring their learning In the traditional education mode, teachers play the chief role, while students accept knowledge passively. But in the autonomy learning mode students explore independently under the guidance of teachers. Students change from passive knowledge receivers into active knowledge obtainers, and teaching means has also been changed from the simple knowledge transferring to arousing students39。 learning efficiency. III. Methods of Cultivating Middle School Students39。t pay attention to students39。 learning mood or even learning result. In order to inspire the students to understand English, teachers should do some appropriate activities and gestures. For example, teachers can ask students to have a roleplay according to the main idea of the passage, letting students understand at a glance. In addition, the teachers should also be affable and speak English language at a moderate speed, creating happy English classroom atmosphere. 2. Organizing English extracurricular activities Psychology Education Research shows that it is of great help for Chinese students39。 view, increase their knowledge. According to students39。t understand what they want to do and how to do what they want. It is believed that those students who do well in their English generally have good plans， overall goals of the school year, semester plans, weekly plans, daily tasks. English learning is a process of gradual accumulation. So there must be a longterm plan. The second one is mental absence in English classes. Students are often absentminded in class, indulging in something else, talking with others or looking out of the window. At home they do their homework while listening to the music. As we know concentration is a good study habit that students must have. It is extremely true that eyes can not focus on two things at the same time and neither can the ears. The last but not the least is ignoring the knowledge they don39。 autonomous learning, for there were a few obstacles during the process of cultivating autonomous learning ability. A.

Releasing students39。 autonomy learning ability is obviously the basic requirements of the latest education reform. Besides, autonomy learning ability is not only the requirements of the quality education, but the needs of students39。 autonomy learning. The traditional learning methods pletely ignores students39。s cognitive activities are always acpanied by certain emotional factors. If the emotional factors are repressed or even killed, man39。 learning interest GongGing figured that 39。 nonintelligent factors are developed and their abilities are improved. In this way they would love learning English slowly. 3. Auxiliary teaching means— multimedia teaching Multimedia teaching is a kind of brandnew auxiliary teaching means. It may, according to the need of teaching, create a teaching atmosphere to lead the students to enter the artistic conception. So it can change some abstract difficult idea into concrete observation on the screen and graphics and even demo some changes in the dynamic process. It has intuitionistic image, rich and colorful characteristics which can help students learn more of the senses, stimulate students39。 thought and give them courage and hopes in class. Therefore, teachers in the class should be conscious to find students39。 knowledge accumulation, and do not pay attention to the training of prehensive quality and innovative ability. When it es to the relation between teaching and learning, they simply emphasize the teacher39。 content understanding. Second, the autonomy learning ability is the basic quality of innovative talents. According to research, most of those who get prize in science and technology innovation petitions are strongly independent, selfdisciplined ones. This proves that students39。 chief task is to transfer knowledge to students because they act as the possessor, the disseminator of the knowledge and the treasure house of information. Over time, students think that the teachers were the authority and they even do not know what they should do without teachers39。 Science Cultivation of Middle School Students’ Autonomy in English Learning by Liao Lian A Thesis Presented to the School of Foreign Languages In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of B.
