Students’ Attitude Towards English For one thing, let us investigate and draw a picture of the students’ behavior. When they have English class, classrooms are divided into many checkers carefully, and a large number of the students crowd into the classroom. All the students are dressed the same clothes, and they are faced to remember many new words, texts, to do much homework every day. They are boring with sermon of their teachers. Therefore, in this condition they lost the interest of studying. Learning a second language needs persistent passion. However, in this condition, the students have not enough passion to be motivated. They are longing for freedom to study in a fresh way. So I surely believe that this is a good explanation why some students absent in English class sometimes and adolescents seem to be more rebellious than others. If they lost their passion on English, they do not like having English class any more. In class, the teachers ask the students to read texts or words again and again. And after class, they leave much homework 免費論文下載 to the students to do, and they do not consider about the students’ thought, so the students appear to be reluctant to do what their teachers request. 2. Teachers’ Techniques of English Teaching The teachers may have to use some spare time to rethink about this matter. Imagine if the teachers invite the students (whether they are top students or not) to dinner and hang out together, and talk about things both the teachers and the students care about. Gradually the students will be involved in the teachers’ ways of thinking, and consider the teachers can teach everywhere when they are with them, not only in the loathsome classroom. To create a stressfree learning atmosphere and to be a popular teacher with students, body language is very important aspect in teaching. The teachers should get rid of the old pattern – they present what they prepared for the class on blackboard, have all the students take notes and hope to ram the knowledge into the students’ mind. Under such circumstance the students cannot be expected to study well, so they should not be blamed. The reason is not their ability or learning skill, but the pressure ing out of the way the teachers apply to teaching. By this, the teachers can introduce more body language in teaching process to create enjoyable learning atmosphere. B. Body Language Involved in English Teaching 1. Teaching of Texts Body language can improve bilateral exchange of emotion between the teachers and the students in order to make knowledge are easily aborted by the students. An educational psychology indicates that to develop the students’ intelligence is affected by their mood in class. The ch ange of the teachers’ behavior and expression control the change of the students’ mood. The teachers’ expression, eyesight and gesture affect the students’ mental state and studying attitude. The teachers’ positive body language benefits the students’ inte lligence and creates a relaxing, natural and happy studying atmosphere. Meanwhile, positive mood and happy mental state benefit to teach and stimulate the students’ studying interest. A confidential look, a appreciative smile from the teachers give great studying power to the students. The teachers’ humor gestures give the 免費論文下載 students’ confidence and respect and maintain the students’ studying interest. Therefore to create an active class atmosphere is vital for teaching. For example, when an English teacher teaches A City Is Dying, body language can plays an important role in it. At beginning, he or she opens his or her eyes widely showing a puzzled expression and raises a question that only life are apt to die, but why a city can die. At this moment, the students are deeply attracted by the teacher’s behavior and be full of interest and curiosity to study. A good beginning means a half of success, and the text will be performed successfully Body language can not only make the students pletely focus their attention on class, but be beneficial for anizing teaching. In English class, if a teacher consciously use body language, he or she also need unconsciously using body language according to middle school students’ nature. For example, when a teacher teaches boring grammar such as tense, subjunctive mood, which can not attract the students, he or she adopts variable expression, cadence tone and kinds of gestures or use eyesight to contact with the students. Thereby, body language is better than verbal language to attract the student’s attention. 2. Teaching of Grammar for Beginners To be an English teacher can be an easy job but sometimes a tough one, which depends on how well the teacher handles the students. When he or she starts the first class, the students do not know any grammar. So he or she teaches them some greeting words. For example, teaching the students to say “nice to meet you”, the teacher waves his hand exaggeratedly with a big smile on his face. In further teaching program, the teachers should have visible and audible teaching material like cards and tapes. Kids cannot internalize long sentences with lots of new words and grammar. And they don’t have skill to analyze a sentence pattern. Therefore the teachers should teach the students. In this process, games should be funny, such as some daily phrases like stand up, sit down, e here, go back and so on. When the teachers do this, they don’t have to tell the students Chinese meaning of this kind of movements, just to show them how to do it when they want to know these 免費論文下載 meaning. When they accumulate more vocabularies, games can be a little bit plex. The following are some examples of basic words.
