Introduction For a long time, English teaching in our country has excessively laid special emphasis on functions of cognition but neglected emotional factors on English learning. Teaching aims are only confined to the mastery of knowledge. As is known to all, teaching activities are proceeded between teachers and students. Teachers only consider their professional skills and the contents they teach. Comparatively, they seldom observe students emotional experience. It seems that there is an invisible wall between teachers and students so that students cant communicate their ideas and feelings with teachers, so it is hard for teachers to have lessons in an effective way. Emotion, in terms of psychology and physiology, is a reflection to the stimulus from outside environment. For example, when students are treated wrongly, they feel disgusted, worried or scared. This is an expression of emotion. Emotion is another terminology of feelings, with a positive or a negative effect on English learning when individual viewpoints and life experiences differ.

According to H. Douglas Brown (1987:114), motivation is commonly thought of as an inner drive, impulse, emotion, or desire that moves one to a particular action. More specifically, human beings universally have needs or drives that are more or less innate, yet their intensity is environmentally conditioned. The description captures the essence of motivation, that is to say, motivation which consists of several variables such as need and interest can be intrinsic or extrinsic, and it is an important fact. Researchers also investigated the construct of motivation. While Gardner(1985:10) holds that motivation is a combination of effort plus desire to achieve the goal of learning the language plus favorable attitudes toward learning the language, Ausubel proposes six-fold concept of motivation, which comes from desires or needs of human organisms: the need for exploration, the need for manipulation, the need for activity, the need for stimulation, the need for knowledge and the n
