Abstract: With the rapid development of social economy, China's international communication has become increasingly frequent, and English has become a kind of capital for modern people to stand on the society. Therefore, English teachers shoulder the heavy responsibility of teaching students English well. Our education target is the growing junior high school students, who are lively, good at imitation and eager for knowledge. Therefore, teachers should attach importance to stimulating and cultivating students' interest in learning, and improve students' English scores and our teaching quality by comprehensively using humorous stories, visual teaching AIDS and games.

Einstein once said: "Interest is the best teacher". The stronger the interest, the more patterns there are, and the more respect students have for learning. Therefore, as English teachers, we should first pay attention to stimulating students' interest. In modern English teaching, teachers should change the traditional teaching methods and use their education and love to cultivate and stimulate students' positive feelings about the knowledge and subjects they have learned. In the process of classroom teaching, it is a magic weapon to give full play to students' main role and stimulate their interest in learning English.
First, pay attention to interest cultivation and stimulate interest.
The ancients said, "Learn from your teacher and believe in it." "Love" makes students have no distance. It should be said that students' active learning begins with liking teachers. It is because I like this teacher that I like his classes, and this interest will last for a long time. Teachers who are loved by students must be full of love in their hearts, because love is mutual. Teachers take the initiative to love students, and students will love them more. So every contact point of students is full of love.
Use more appreciative and enlightening comments in class, seize every opportunity to satisfy students' desire to express, let every student experience a sense of accomplishment and encourage their small progress in time. Students' inner world is rich and colorful, and they have a strong desire for expression and success in class. Therefore, teachers should mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning English through various channels, fully provide students with opportunities to display their talents, and be good at transforming students' enthusiasm for learning, desire for expression and desire for success into long-term emotions, eternal interests and persistent pursuits, and then develop them into inner interests. Specifically, teachers should be good at "moving people with emotion and moving people with love" in teaching. Identify students' emotional points, care for each student, help poor students enthusiastically, pay attention to protecting students' enthusiasm for learning by adopting a method of less "majesty" and more "kindness", and arouse students' love for the subjects taught by teachers through a moderate combination of majesty and kindness. In fact, a friendly facial expression and a vivid example will give students a pleasant experience and make them enjoy learning English.
Second, use humorous stories and songs to stimulate students' interest in learning.
Humorous stories and songs are loved by everyone, especially junior high school students. In English teaching, timely and appropriate use of them can greatly stimulate students' interest. For example, when teaching pronunciation, I told a little humor first, and someone asked, "Where is your friend?" Answer: "My friend is on the horse". The questioner was very surprised after hearing this. The respondent wanted to say, "My friend is in the room." However, due to inaccurate pronunciation, "house" was mispronounced as "horse". This short story strongly illustrates the importance of English pronunciation and greatly stimulates students' interest in learning English.
Melody is also an effective method that we often use to improve students' interest. For example, when teaching the usage of am, IS and are, I made up a rhyme. I use am and you use are, and is follows him, her and it; For singular subjects and are for plural subjects; If you want to be a negative sentence, you should not add not after be. If you change a general question, don't forget to add a question mark, Am, Is, Are at the beginning of the sentence. Using this method, students can quickly remember and forget, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Relaxed songs are a beautiful art, and emotional art can cultivate people's temperament, evolve people's hearts and improve people's quality. Lively teenagers have great interest in songs. Therefore, in teaching, I introduced a lot of songs to promote learning, and brought students into the English world in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, which achieved good results. For example, when teaching 26 letters, when learning numbers, ABC songs, head, shoulders, knees and toes. In this way, by arranging some singing, informative and interesting English songs in class, students' enthusiasm can be mobilized and they can learn, rest and absorb knowledge in singing.
Third, the use of visual teaching AIDS is an important link to improve classroom interest.
1. Living objects
The application of concrete things in English teaching is an important stimulating factor to improve learning interest, and it is not dispensable. For example, in English class, there is a game called "touch and guess". By letting students touch themselves, they can get a perceptual knowledge, and then let them guess and speak, thus arousing their great interest. In this way, students can remember words in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and they will no longer regard memorizing words as a very headache, thus achieving the teaching effect of learning and playing.
2. Children make their own teaching AIDS.
For beginners, intuitive teaching AIDS are particularly important. However, due to the limited conditions, the school lacks the necessary teaching wall charts. I began to let students draw their own pictures, and assigned tasks one week in advance, so that students could draw the pictures we needed on white hard paper with colored pens and write the words or phrases expressed by the pictures on the back of the paper. A week later, some works were used in the classroom, which made the students really feel the joy of success, greatly stimulated their enthusiasm for learning English and made them happy to take English classes. Through this training, not only the students' drawing ability is cultivated, but also their intelligence is developed, and the purpose of preview before class is achieved.
Practice has proved that visual teaching AIDS are a lively language game in teaching, which can guide children to enter a more complicated language realm and carry out more interesting activities.
Interest is the driving force of learning, so it is very important to grasp students' interest before teaching new language knowledge. Using situation and setting up situation teaching is one of the important means, such as teaching. Can you come to my birthday party? In this unit, before class, I asked which classmate's birthday is today. As soon as he entered the classroom, he said, "Today is x x's birthday. Let's say "Happy Birthday to her", shall we? Then give her a small gift prepared in advance and sing a birthday song together. In this way, it is easy to teach them the sentence patterns of "how to invite others to a birthday party" and "how to answer" in a pleasant atmosphere. For example, how to make banana milkshake in teaching? In this unit, before class, I asked my students to help me prepare a blender, three bananas, milk, ice cream, a glass, a knife and so on. In class, I put these things on the lecture table, and they cast curious eyes, and then I said, "Do you know what I brought these things for? The student replied, "No", and I said, "I want to make banana milkshake, which is delicious." Then I introduced its making method in English while operating, and led the students to say that after the operation, the students can recite the making process of "banana milk making".
Fourth, use games to stimulate students' interest.
Games can naturally stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning English, which is conducive to beginners to expand their vocabulary and increase their knowledge. In English conversation, it is often necessary to create a relaxed, lively and real environment for students through games, thus stimulating their positive emotions and thinking. For example, in the shopping unit, I asked students to set up the classroom as a supermarket, so that each student could play a role, either as a shop assistant or as a customer. In the natural and familiar environment, every student is very involved and gains something, which greatly makes them feel the practicality of English and inspires their confidence in learning English. For example, when students learn How are you? Fine, thank you. ",I invited two students to perform the scene dialogue when they meet after such a long separation:
Hello, Li Ming! How are you?
Fine, thank you. What about you?
A: I'm fine, too.
Students seem to be in the game, which not only reviews and consolidates what they have learned, but also cultivates students' ability to use English in practice and overcomes students' boredom caused by repeated practice.
Fifth, protect English learning interest and let students experience the happiness of success.
For junior high school students, it is one thing to guide and stimulate their interest in learning. On the other hand, it is more important to keep their interest, so that they can keep a strong interest and enter a higher level of learning activities step by step.
First of all, in line with the principle of creating a harmonious and relaxed language environment and reducing students' psychological barriers, teachers should pay attention to making full use of all favorable opportunities in and out of class in teaching, create conditions for students' language learning, and guide students to widely contact English materials (such as teaching English songs, reciting English poems, famous sayings and aphorisms, etc.). ). Carry out activities such as memorizing English words, publishing English blackboard newspapers, reading English newspapers, and holding English short play competitions, so as to cultivate students' sense of learning achievement and sense of competition, thus maintaining their interest in learning.
Secondly, strengthening the guidance of learning methods, improving students' self-study ability and enabling students to master language and culture effectively are important links to maintain their interest in learning. In teaching, teachers should always help students to sum up language rules, grasp their internal relations, improve learning quality, master scientific memory rules, gradually develop scientific methods and thinking, and acquire English knowledge to the maximum extent, thus promoting the development of students' interest in learning.
Thirdly, English teaching is an emotional activity at two levels. Language materials contain rich emotional factors. The inner feelings of teachers and students influence and restrict each other. Students' learning motivation needs teachers' emotional stimulation to a great extent. Emotional education is a friendly and cooperative relationship between teachers and students, the basis for students to undertake tasks and solve problems, and the guarantee for maintaining their interest in learning. In daily teaching and life, teachers, through their own words and deeds, make full use of language and non-language means to stimulate students' feelings about English learning, cultivate students' tenacious will and tenacity to overcome difficulties, eliminate psychological obstacles and encourage positive progress, which can also achieve the goal of better ensuring students' language learning.
In a word, English classroom teaching is a multi-level, multi-functional and comprehensive sensory activity, and it is a complicated and meticulous process of teaching and learning. In this process, how to stimulate students' learning motivation and arouse their learning enthusiasm is a problem that English teachers should consider and must solve. As long as we work hard, keep exploring and be good at summing up, we can stimulate students' interest in learning English to the maximum extent, improve their academic performance and do a good job in English teaching.
