Therefore, the excitation and the motivation of students to guide English teaching is of high importance . Based on study of modern education theories, this paper expounds the meaning and types of motivation, analyzes the functions of motivation in English learning and puts forward strategies for cultivating and stimulating high school students English learning motivation.Key Word: motivation; English learning; stimulation;cultivation; middle school students A, introduction Motivation (Motivation) has been considered a foreign language learning is one of the key factors. Corder a word is often quote: as long as there is learning motivation, who can learn a language. Our English teacher is a widespread belief that learning motivation, the higher the faster to learn, to learn the better. Students have the earnest study attitude and strong study perseverance, is often because they have strong learning motivation; There are some students lack of enthusiasm, and even disgusted, this is clearly learning motivation of performance. Learning motivation and study result is complementary relationship, good motivation to get the success of learning, learning success, in turn, enhance motivation (Vivian Cook, 2000). Therefore, our teachers know and stimulate the students learning motivation is important to the success of an teaching conditions. In English teaching, motivation has been the key for the teaching, whether it is listening, speaking, reading and writing grammar teaching, if cant stimulate the students motivation, teaching is not possible to achieve the expected effect (WangDuQin, 2002). As an English teacher, our primary mission is to stimulate the students English learning motivation. High school students is a subjective initiative of the individual, in English learning process, learning motivation is one of the main factors affect learning. At the same time, they are social individuals, the English learning motivation must by the environment influence and restriction. In this paper, the influence factors of middle school students English learning motivation, analyzed the stimulate the students English learning motivation strategy, in hopes of the middle school English teaching has certain practical significance. Second, the meaning of motivation, type Learning motivation is to point to by a learning objective individual or object, to inspire and guide to maintain learning activity intrinsic psychological process or internal power. This means that learning motivation is individual inner psychological process, it is cant directly observed the, but can be by individual external behavior speculation. For example, through the choice of students for the tasks to the amount of effort, to the attitude of the difficulties, and rejuvenation, etc, can gather that students learning motivation of direction, namely the interest, hobbies and direction; Also can gather that students learning motivation and maintain the strength of the length of time, etc. Motivation is from a certain learning goals or objects, stimulating and maintenance of guidance, here emphasizes the importance of learning goals, goals or object can guide, arouse and maintain individual learning. For example, students to realize three good student become such a goal, can produce study power and try to overcome difficulties, to be excellent results. Simply speaking, learning motivation is aroused and guide the individual behavior towards the power of learning goals. As ShaoRuiZhen editor of the learning and teaching psychology (1991) in the book had said that: motivation is driving people a reason or activities, including the intention of the personal power and desire, psychological conflict or attempt to achieve goals. Cognitive psychologists think, motivation can be divided into the internal motive (or internal driving force) (Intrinsic motivation) and external motivation (or external incentives) (Extrinsic motivation). The internal motive refers to the interest of the people to the event itself caused by power, is a point to the task of learning motivation. For example, students the purpose of learning English is to gain knowledge of English, use English for communication. Education is one of the main responsibility of the students to take an interest in knowledge itself. Outside incentive effect on the students learning English is the external factors. For example, students academic performance by the top teachers praise, the envy of the students, so that its respected to get needs met, so as to improve their efforts to study further the enthusiasm. To promote students learning motivation is directly to learn an internal power, is the social and education to the student the objective requirement of the students of the reflection in the mind. Three, to encourage and train high school students the importance of English learning motivation According to the description of the modern psychology, motivation has three functions: stimulate the function; Choose and point to function; Maintain and adjust the function. Performance in English study, motivation can help students to build up the great aim, to improve their English level, overcome learning difficulties, and in the competition conditions to get good grades; Arouse the students interest in learning English, and actively participate in the learning activities, in the classroom active answer, take an active part in group activities and peer activities. Motivation is the precondition of the study, and it has strong motivation of the students often have seriously study the attitude and strong study perseverance. Students of the intensity of leading motives will affect students grades of the pros and cons. The relationship between the motivation and learning is typical of complementary relationship, high motivation level get a high academic performance, high academic achievement in turn increase the motivation of high level. When students get good grades, the desire for knowledge will get satisfaction, also can produce positive emotional experience, its original study motive can be further strengthened. And the success or failure of the English learning environment, their own except for study and the methods of teaching the language ability, also related to students emotional factors. In the students emotion factors, learning motivation is to determine the success or failure of English. Learning motivation and study enthusiasm, learning effect has a close relation between the. In general, the more definite learning motivation, the more intense, students study enthusiasm, the higher the better learning effect. Because learning motivation is such an important function, so, it is not only the important variables affect the learning efficiency, and school education is one of the important targets. Chinese and foreign language education scientists think affect foreign language learning motivation is one of the main factors of success, middle and primary school English curriculum standards to point out: English lessons to face all student, pay attention to quality education. The attention to each students emotional, to stimulate their interest in learning English, and help them to build learning sense of achievement and self-confidence. Therefore, understanding and stimulate the students English learning motivation to improve the teaching efficiency of English has the very vital significance. Four, English learning motivation to encourage and train (a) English learning motivation to spark 1. Use the variety of teaching means (1) the music of interest Will tell from the psychological characteristics, students in the singing, with the fluctuation of melody, in feel relax, pleasant, meet at the same time, produce excited mood. Therefore, to use this form will sing in English teaching, can greatly improve the students learning interest in English. For example: professor body parts in a class hour, in order to avoid the students learning word pronunciation difficulties and feel boring problem, can use songs Eye and Ear and Mouth and Nose to support their teaching, let the students sang side learn to sing and to learn, to learn best sing, and singing at the same time with gestures, not only improve the learning interest of the students, but also greatly reduces the difficulty of learning, and enhance the understanding and memory of words. (2) physical teaching AIDS The use of physical teaching AIDS is through the actual things of the display of the direct causes the student to obtain the perceptual experience. The authenticity of perceptual materials to understand the content and the actual things close to the relations, thus in the classroom use with good results. Our side and the classroom see everything can be used as a visual AIDS. In the classrooms of the physical teaching AIDS choice generally is easy to find and convenient to take small articles, physical teaching AIDS can be used to teaching nouns, adjectives, numerals, pronouns and related some phrases. For example: the fruit of the text in teaching, can bring some fruits to class, strengthening students to the image of the word memory; The classroom the things and people can be used to teaching blackboard, desk, chair, etc.; Three teams with different lengths of pencil compare: The red pencil is long. The blue one is longer than thered one. The yellow one is The longest of The three. (3) competition for optimal Competition is learning motivation, arouse their learning enthusiasm effective means, because the competition can call up superiority and satisfy students by others, praised the psychological demand such as admitted that, in the form of competition should pay attention to take yourself with the past contests, a contest between individual and collective of competition between combined. In the recitation can use group and group game in the form of words, guess pictures said words, write the words, write letters, performance and answer the questions. Comprehensive review already so the knowledge, and fully exercise the students listening, speaking, reading and performance, and other comprehensive ability; At the same time, still can enhance their collective sense of honor. And if, in the study some verbs, each group can take a classmate to front do the action, do wrong sat back seat, students of the verbs take turns reading words, on to the end of the students is the winner. For see Who is the best? To the performance good student, you should express encouragement. So, can not only make good students to have a sense of achievement, still can make a little bad student you after I catch, form good learning habits. (4) remember words opportunely According to YiBinHao forget rule, the students began to forget a fastest, then forgotten tend to be stable. For they have learned to consolidate things, can reduce forget rate. Make use of the children of the rich imagination to stimulate their brain nerve excitement, to consolidate memory has certain effect. In the teaching, pay attention to let the students to play the wisdom of the collective, give some spelling added reasonable imagination. For example: family = father and mother I love you! The first letter of each word when made family; The letters from the ruler l is like a ruler; Swing in a letter W, fish over body like swing; The room is the classroom classroom class; The eye is y nose, e is the eye, nose at both sides; . (5) entertaining game The game is a popular form of activity students. In the classroom, appropriate introduction game, so that students in open play in mind. For example: the Oxford English teaching materials in 1 B for three units are learning about the career of the words and some adjectives. This part of the content to students is boring, in order to stimulate the students learning motivation, teaching hours can let each students wear the tire, make them quickly into the role, do Hide and Seek game, please a student CaiMo blindfolded students wearing the headdress of the to professional and shape characteristics, requirements, adjectives and professional words used sentence patterns Are you a doctor? Are you young? And so on, the whole class students into n a group, each student was involved in the game. Play Hide and seek. Throughout, lets the student in the game to review old knowledge, consolidate the new knowledge, recreation, mixed in activities, to increase its participation and the sense of competition, stimulate students interest in study, effectively arouse the enthusiasm of the students oral communication, in the carefree atmosphere for oral communication, and improve the learning efficiency. The game can add a lot fun to English study, and make students in laughter remember learned information. These activities to strengthen the classroom interaction, so that the students feel the teachers attention. In the class still should notice the inquiry, discussions, debates, personal summarized, such as the use of the teacher evaluation way. Questions to take care of different degrees of classmate, difficult and easy should differences that any progress for students, the teacher should try to be sure and praise; Discussions, debates first team, and then to personal summary, such already take care of individual differences, also can play the advantage of foreign language especially immortal; Teachers to the task of learning evaluation in time also is critical, especially composition evaluation. Also can organize the rich and colorful activities, active atmosphere, improving the enthusiasm of foreign language learning. For example: report, speech competition, watch English movies, and I do 10 minutes activities such as the teacher, can get good effect, so that the students in English learning experience more joy, improve oral communication ability, also can make their own teaching knowledge and interest sex harmony at an organic whole, make the students happy to learn English as the tour. 2. Paying attention to teachers emotional impact The teacher in the student mind is high, the sacred, teachers emotions can also inspire the students, but also can inspire their learning motivation. First, the teacher will give students kindness and trust. Students kiss the teacher can believe the word, if students dislike or even hate teachers, so the subject also taught natural no learning enthusiasm. The teacher to student pour into love, take care of students, respect students trust, enthusiastically to treat every student, especially for deviation to pour into more and more love of life, so that students just like you, at the same time, like your class, very consciously into your teaching. Second, the teacher must carry forward the teaching democracy, believe that students, let the students to take part in the study. SuHuoM LinSiJi said: let students to experience a firsthand knowledge in the emotion, but arouse special knowledge to the young interest of the important conditions. Therefore, to outstanding students subject status, encourages guide the students self learning, self discovery. When teaching in class, the students in learning for achievements, answer the question correctly, even if it is a little flash place, also want to prompt capture, to praise, encourage. Some more multi-purpose very good/you word, let the students to experience the joy of success, see the prospect of learning, build confidence. To learn a poor and learning errors students, class also Dont literally criticism, said some Try again, Don t worry, Take it easy and so on the word, such not only encourage enhance students confidence, and at the same time, make the classroom is always filled with a carefree atmosphere, but different degree stimulates the student to study the inner motive power of English, also can be used for English teaching, which laid the foundation of success. Moreover, the teacher wants to keep the spirit of optimism, warmly high emotions. The smile in the classrooms, harmonious relation between teacher and students. Harmonious classroom atmosphere can make students perceptive process not be hindered, also make memory, thinking ability to improve. 3. Correct evaluation, praise and encourage proper Adopt diversified, diversified way for students to evaluate, avoid waking the final a roll of traditional testing method for performance, such as written comments, praise or criticism, etc. This evaluation can strengthen the role of the motivation. Chinese scholars (Yin GuoEn 1998) experiments found that rewards can significantly improve the students learning motivation. Therefore, we should give priority to encourage, admiration. As education psychologist GaiJie and Andrew, said that the praise is one of the most cheap, the most easy to use and the most effective inspire students learning motivation method. The ways to reward is material of also can be smiling and nodding or said a Very good! Well! Great! And so on. For example: each class to the selection of a few carefully in class, the students listen actively speak, not only to give oral praise, and a star, and to encourage, every two weeks a comparison of the progress of top students test the first, second and third, so can effectively to stimulate students learning motivation. At the same time evaluation must be objective and fair and timely. Proof experience, if the teacher evaluation joined the subjective impression, and not according to the students learning objective evaluation or unjust, not only can stimulate the learning evaluation of motivation, but have the opposite result. Timely evaluation than the general not in time, good effect, because of the evaluation of the use of the just in time left of the distinctive appearance, get the students to produce improved his will to learn; And not timely evaluation are often motivating the students improve learning effect of small, because in the student consciousness to complete the task in the scene when has more light. (2) the training of English learning motivation 1. Teachers should always to the students study the purpose of education, to inspire students need for knowledge. The purpose of the study education, is to make students learn the correct understanding of the social significance, the study and noble of the socialist modernization construction, lofty ideal combined, so as to form the long-term interest of the indirect and vision learning motivation, produce the correct study manner, enhance the study enthusiasm and the study self-conscious. For example, according to the characteristics of learning English, and English in the world the history of development status, the wide application in the modern society, enables the student to study the target of a vision, let it become encourage their advance a lasting power; And to make the long-term goal of the specific practical and feasible goal together. Let students understand these goals, after efforts to also can achieve these goals, make learning into students knowledge needs. 2. Through the purposeful learning activities, cultivate the students interest in study. Study interest is an important psychological component of learning motivation. Interested only in the process of knowledge, eager to obtain relevant knowledge (the strong desire for knowledge), and with a good emotional experience. Has the interest in learning of the students, the study as the heart will meet, not the study as a burden. In the teaching should let students know: English is beautiful.
