仪阳中学 英语课题组
【内容摘要】英语学习兴趣是英语教学的生命。一个成功的英语教师要在教学中有意识地培养学生对英语的持久兴趣，激励学生不断处于较佳的学习状态之中，使他们对英语乐学、善学、会学，学而忘我，乐此不疲。了增强学生学习英语的兴趣，给学生更多的运用英语进行交际的机会，教师应该创设和组织多种难易适度的课内和课外活动，通过活动可以让学生把所学知识运用于实际，使学生认识了自我，取得了不同程度的成就感，增强其自信心，增添了学习英语的兴趣和乐趣，变“要我学”为“我要学”，进而长久保持其对英语学习的兴趣。
【关键词】学习兴趣、活动形式
一、课题的提出
兴趣是一种驱动力，在学习过程中，它可以使感知清晰、思维活跃、想象丰富、印象深刻、记忆牢固。古代教育家孔子曾说过：“知之者不如好之者，好之者不如乐之者。”爱因斯坦说过：“兴趣是最好的老师。”教育家乌申斯芬也曾说过，没有任何兴趣而被迫进行的学习会扼杀学生掌握知识的愿望。可见，英语学习兴趣是英语教学的生命。瑞士现代著名教育家皮亚杰说过：“所有智力方面的活动都要依赖于兴趣。”这句话真知灼见地道出了兴趣对学习的重要性。兴趣是人们力求认识某种事物或爱好某种活动并伴有积极情绪色彩的心理倾向，是推动人们进行活动的最现实，最活跃的内部动机。古今中外凡是取得巨大成就的人，无一不是对自己所从事的职业产生浓厚的、强烈的兴趣。可见兴趣是入门的阶梯，兴趣孕育愿望，兴趣滋生动力。学习兴趣是学生在学习活动中的一种积极的情感表现，一种内在的动力。如果学生对英语学习不感兴趣，就会导致教师讲课，无人听讲；上课提问，无人回答；课堂气氛死气沉沉；还会使原本复杂的英语知识更难学，学生不知所谓，而厌学、不学。在新课程标准下的中学英语教学中，教师要培养和保持学生较浓的学习兴趣，应该把握良机，渲染英语课堂气氛，引发学生的兴趣和求知欲；充分研究教材，认真备课，在各教学环节中增加趣味性；注重“以人为本”，发挥学生主体作用；建立新型师生关系，重视师生情感交流，培养兴趣；开展内容广泛、形式多样的英语课外活动等。由此可见，在英语教学中，欲使学生学得积极主动，并达到良好的学习效果，大面积地提高教学质量，
激发学生学习兴趣是至关重要的。因此，教师应把激发和培养学生的学习兴趣贯穿于教学过程的始终。
在素质教育的今天，以提高学生的综合素质为最终目的。但在我们的日常教学之中，却发现不少学生对学习英语的兴趣越来越低，因此，只有培养了学生学习英语的兴趣，调动了他们的积极性，才能使英语课从老师“盼他学”到“他要学”。英语作为一种交际工具，学会使用是最终目的，因此在英语教育教学中培养学生的学习兴趣，让学生能参与到英语教育过程中，使用进而掌握英语就是我们英语教学的根本任务。我们所在的学校是一处农村中学，绝大部分学生都是住宿生，因此只依靠学生们自己平时搜集，开创一些活动形式就是不现实的了，因此就要求在教师的引导下，和同学们一起利用绝大部分的在校时间，通过课上和课下创设的多种形式，提高学生学习英语的兴趣，使学生享受参与和成功的快乐。我们于2007年申请了“创新多种活动方式，激发英语学习兴趣”并与2008年开始实施。
二、课题研究的目的和意义
（一）课题研究的目的
通过课题的研究和实施，我校的英语教师能找到更多的有效途径，和同学们一起进行参与，从而提高同学们学习英语的兴趣，能提高自己学习英语的自信心，从而提高同学们使用英语的频率和效果；同时，在参与活动的过程中，培养和谐的师生关系和学生们合作学习的品质，从而提升学生的精神品质，为学生今后成功步入社会做好铺垫和积累。
（二）课题研究的意义
学生因年龄特征的因素，学习兴趣也不是稳定的，持久不变的。一旦失去兴趣，厌烦情绪就会随之而来。开创多种活动形式，就成了第一课堂的必要补充。著名的英语教学法专家Mr. West所说的 “外语是学会的，而不是教会的。”作为一名英语教师，不仅要引导学生 “学会” ，更重要的是引导他们“会学”。因此，无论课堂上下，还是校园内外，都尽量形成一种说英语的氛围，让学生在不知不觉中学会如何说英语，进而学会使用英语，这是我们课题的研究意义。
三、理论依据
《英语课程标准》明确指出：基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。综合语言运用能力的形成是建立在学生语言技能、语言知
识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等素质整体发展的基础上。其中情感态度是影响学生学习和发展的重要因素。心理学家认为，“兴趣能产生动力，情感能激发兴趣。” 因此，在英语教学中关注每位学生的情感，激发他们学习英语的兴趣，引导他们逐渐将兴趣转化为稳定的学习动机。
1. 课堂教学是提高英语教学成绩的主阵地
初中生这个年龄的特点是:爱说爱动,自我约束、自我控制能力不强,如果教学中忽视这些特点,单纯沿用传统教学模式,使用传统教学方法进行机械地讲解,把他们纯粹当成知识的容纳器,填鸭式地向他们灌输,在他们眼中,枯燥无味,冷冰冰的语法、词汇,他们便不感兴趣,因而也就谈不上学习的积极性和主动性。目前,中学英语教学质量不佳,恐怕这是一个主要原因。学习需要兴趣。就某种意义上讲,学英语就更需要兴趣。如何激发学生的学习兴趣,并保持它,使之成为他们学习的动力, 应该是我们教学考虑的出发点。在教学过程中适时使用情景教学是使知识与情感交流畅通无阻,直接提高学生积极健康的情绪体验,引起学生,直接提高学生对学习的积极性,所以教师在教学中应尽量与日常生活相关的语言来创设教学情景,这样能激发学生的积极性并促进学生的潜能发展,从而使学生更好的利用自己已有的语法、词汇、句型结构和日常生活中语言的真实表达来对当前所学的知识进行同类操练来认知巩固知识点，能起到事半功倍的效果。
另外，我们学校英语教学的实际情况决定了：课堂教学是提高学生英语成绩的主阵地。因为农村中学的教育条件和设施是有限的：教室里没有电脑、幻灯机等教学设备，更谈不上语音室、语言实验室等，学生大都居住在偏远的山区，交通闭塞，经济发展较为缓慢，缺乏与外国人直接接触交流的机会，没有较好的学习外语的语言环境。因而，农村中学的学生缺乏听力训练及语言交际能力的训练。同学们只有在课堂上通过老师的引导和与同学们的配合，才能是自己的英语成绩和使用英语的能力得到提高。学生们对英语感兴趣与否与课堂上教师预设的一些任务，设计的一些活动是有着密切关系的。夸美纽斯说：“教学艺术的光亮是注意，有了注意，学习的人才能保持他的心理，不跑野马，才能了解放在眼前的一切事物。”实践证明：以一种或两种形式为主，辅之以其它形式教学，效果较好，而长时间地采用一种形式教学，会给学生造成生理上的疲劳和心理上的抑制。因此，我们下大力气结合学校提出的构建高效课堂的要求，着力对“课堂导入，课
堂操练和作业设置”进行了研究和探讨，从这三个环节入手，对这些环节中如何提高学生的兴趣和参与度进行了大胆的尝试和创新，努力创造和谐的课堂气氛，充分调动学生的主动性和积极性提高学生听、说、读、写技能和记忆的能力。
2. 英语课外活动是英语教学的必要延续
随着基础教育课程改革的不断深入，对身处改革一线的英语教师提出了新的要求；教师必须转变教育角色，调整教学策略；还要求具备课程开发能力和整合能力，培养学生探究学习的能力。语言教学是一个解决问题的过程。新课程改革强调学生通用英语做事情，在做事情的过程中发展语言能力、思维能力以 及交流与合作的能力。语言学习要通过创设良好的语言环境和提供大量的语言实践机会，使学生通过自己的体验、感知、实践、参与和交流形成语感；学生在教师的指导下，运用探究性学习模式实现任务目标，感受成功。如果英语学习通过真实的丰富多彩的课外活动，那么学生就能接触到更贴近学习实际、贴近生活、贴近时代的信息资源；学生的参与意识随之不断增强，交流方式也将由课内活动的单、双向交流，转为多向交流的方式。课外活动可以是课堂教学的延伸，如口语脱口秀、演讲比赛、参观访问、实地调查、生活Party都可适时地引入英语教学。
另外，开展英语课外活动有其独特的意义：（1）有利于调动学生学习英语的积极性，培养学生对英语学习的兴趣。（2）有助于体现学生的主体性，突出“以人为本”的教育思想。（3）促进英语学科与其它学科的相互渗透和联系，克服了学科课程割裂知识的弊端 （4）有助于提高学生的综合素质。因此我们结合我校的实际情况积极开展有关“手抄报，英语脱口秀和作文”比赛，在活动中渗透英语文化，培养口语交际能力，提高学生学习英语的兴趣，从而提高学生们的英语水平。
四、课题研究目标
（一）树立信心，培养学生学习英语兴趣。
心理学的研究和教育工作实践经验证明：采用生动适合学生心理发展水平的教育方式，可以培养学生的兴趣。初学英语的同学，对英语有着强烈的好奇心，如果教师能抓住这一特点，加以正确引导，树立学生学习的自信心，将会收到事半功倍的效果。
（二）把握良机，营造“轻松，和谐”的课堂教学氛围，引发学生学习英
语的兴趣。
上课是英语教学的中心环节，教学任务基本上靠上课完成。因此，在有限的四十五分钟时间里，如何安排好教学步骤，调动学生的积极性，自始至终地把握学生的注意力，就显得尤为重要了。平淡无奇、呆板无味的教学方法只会压抑学生的学习兴趣。相反，轻松和谐的课堂教学气氛能使学生带着轻松的心情，在有趣的语言环境中积极地发掘自我，尽情地、自然地、最大限度地获得语言能力。同时，提高我校英语教师的课堂教学水平。
（三）开展多种课外活动，营造浓厚的学习氛围，激活学生学习英语的兴趣。
开展多种课外活动，课余时间尽量让学生感受到学英语的氛围，学生在交流中，寻找差距，不断自我鞭策，相互激励。通过一些可行的课外活动游戏，使学生感到学习英语“乐在其中”，为他们今后的英语打下了良好的基础。
（四）让学生体验成功，发展学生学习英语的兴趣
兴趣的产生和发展离不开实践活动，人们在实践活动中对客观规律的认
识和情感会逐步加深。特别是在活动中不断克服困难，获得成功，会使人的需要不断得到满足。学生一旦体验到学生的成功，其动力就会越来越大，学生的点滴进步有时自己是觉察不到的，这就需要老师及时给予肯定、鼓励、表扬。让他们体验到成功的喜悦，从而使学生更加发愤的学习，增强自信心，进一步对这一学科产生学习兴趣。
（五）重视情感，保持学生学习英语的兴趣
新课程理念下教师应由知识的传授者转向学习的参与者促进者指导者。传统意义上被认为是知识传授者的教师的教与学生的学，将不断让位于师生互教互学，彼此将形成一个真正的“学习共同体”。当学生在自主观察、实验或讨论时，教师并不是清闲的，而是积极地看，积极地听，真实地感受学生的所作所为、所思所想，随时掌握课堂中的各种情况，考虑下一步如何指导学生学习。同时教师还应给学生心理上的支持，创造良好的学习氛围，采用各种适当的方式，给学生以心理上的安全和精神上的鼓舞，使学生的思维更加活跃，热情更加高涨。学生在师生关系融洽的氛围中，心情舒畅，才能使已有的学习兴趣得以保持。

A report on the influence Factors of Graduating Students a
Survey Report on Employment
1 Introduction
In the last two decades, owning to education, we witnessed a rapid development in industry, agriculture, science and technology in China. Education can not only eich people’s knowledge, but also improve people’s moral standard as a whole. However, with the new higher education policies coming into effect, a growing number of college students are fully aware of the uncertainties of their future careers. How to find a right niche for ourselves?
As a result, we did this study aims to investigate the influence factors of graduating students’ employment. We hope we can offer some advises for college students based on the findings of our research.
65 graduating students from Shandong University were investigated and 65 questionnaires are valid. The questionnaire is both in electronic form and papery form. We collect the data and type the result into computer. Besides, in order to make the result more directviewing, we use Excel to make diagrams. Through our statistical analysis, the results indicated that most of the college students want to get a stable job with a high salary. And they tend to work in big cities or work abroad where there has a good development prospect.
2 Research Design
2.1 Research Questions:
The questionnaire is clearly set out in appendix I.
More specifically, the following questions were addressed:
1. Personally, does gender has impact on applying for jobs?
2. In your opinion, which of the following abilities will be the advantage when you look for a job?
3. Do you think what ability needs to be improved when you look for a job?
2.2 Participants:
65 graduating students from Shandong University were investigated. 40 of them filled in the questionnaire online. The students who have been surveyed were voluntary. And the average age of students was 20. And 30 percent of the students are male and 70 percent of the students are female.
2.3 Instrument:
It was designed by Li Yaru, and it was developed in English to evaluate the thought of graduating students’ view in employment. And the questionnaire contained 11 items in total, including 10 choice questions and an essay question. Modifications of the questionnaire were made by Zhang Yinwei, Wang Rui and Liu Yang.
2.4 Data Collection:
The questionnaire was administered on 12nd, May. Students were surveyed randomly online. And students were asked to complete the questionnaire honestly and carefully. In addition, students were assured to complete anonymity of answers.
2.5 Data Analysis:
The data collected from questionnaires were entered
into Excel for statistical analysis. Bar chart is applied to evaluate the number of male students and female students. And Pie charts were used to analyze the results of the rest of the questions. 3 Findings:
1. What is your gender?
65 graduating students from Shandong Univercity were investigated, including 13 girls and 52 boys.
2. Which job channel do you tend to choose?
According to investigation result, about 68% students tend to choose the way through friends or relatives to look for work. The result may be due to the Chinese old saying, at home one relies on one’s parents and outside on one’s friends. Our familiar people never deceive us. Although most people tend to relatives and help find work, but there are still roughly 17% the graduates want to look for a job through
recruitment fair. This suggests that some college students tend to find a job by own efforts.
3. After graduation, which field do you hope to work?
It is surprised that 89% of college students are not willing to work in a
major-related field. They think the university teaches learning methods instead of professional knowledge. As a result, a cross-professional job will not aff(本文来自：wwW.xIAocAofaNwEn.com 小 草范 文 网:英文研究报告)ect the future development, and this will give them more challenges in the wok.
4. Do you think which your preferred salary standard is?
For graduating students, the salary of their first job should not be too high. But it is found that 46% of people choose the highest salary. This suggests that some of the graduates are full of themselves. In their mind, such work is not worth doing. This is also the reason why a lot of college students can't find work.
5. In the process of looking for a job search, which will hinder your choice?
In the process of looking for a job, the biggest obstacle is poor working conditions. With the improvement of living standard, many college students are pampered and they can’t bear the poor working environment. Therefore, 51% the people want to have good working conditions. In addition, salary is another big obstacle.
6．
Personally, does gender has impact on applying for jobs?
Obviously, most of the students think the gender has impact on applying for a job. Nowadays, with the rapid development of our society and economy, there have emerged many working opportunities. But there exists a problem that high-level jobs are mostly occupied by men even though some women are also competent. That disagrees with the equality of men and women. It is a well-known fact that there are many women, Madame Curit and Margreat Thatcher, to name only a few, in history who work as scientists and politicians. When we talk about this phenomenon, first we must admit that there exist some differences between men and women. Then we should know that neither side could be regarded better or worse. For example, if you say men are often calm and objective, but don’t you see some men are more careless than women? Besides, if you think women are always hesitant and sensitive, and then what would you say when they behave thoughtfully in work? Therefore there are not absolute advantages for men when considering their gender. Personally, I firmly believe that women should be given the same rights as men, because they are equally important in all human activities. However, this kind of prejudice has been existing for a long time. No matter men or women have been affected more or less; this idea has even made some women lose confidence in themselves. Therefore our whole society and especially our government should take efficient measure to encourage a certain percentage of jobs especially high-level jobs to be reserved for women. Through this way, we would hopefully see that more and more outstanding women can be working in their favorite jobs and can get their desirable position. And just by that our working field can be called a kind of equality of men and women.
7. Where is your ideal working place?
52% of college students want to go to the east regions after graduation. 6% of college students want to go to the middle China. And there are respectively 39% and 3% of college students want to go to the north regions and the west regions. In my opinion, most of college students want to go to east regions. It may be because that the eastern economic prosperity. There are a lot of job opportunities and there have more space for development. And some cities in middle China, such as Wuhan Xi’an Zhengzhou, also have good jobs to do. But the environment of the western and northern is not so good, so very few people were willing to go and work there.
