In foreign language learning, the teachers should pay attention to the students affective factors, and mobilize the students enthusiasm, then make the students turn “Teacher makes me learn” into “I want to learn”. Scientists point out that human beings and animals both have motivations. If a student is motivated when he does something, he does it excellent and fast. It is obvious that the need or desire that makes a student overcome difficulties to reach the goal at last. There are many students dont know whether they need the foreign language learning or not. This moment, the teachers should inform the students clearly of the importance of the foreign language .Take English as an example, the teacher can tell the students English is an international language. Since English is used so widely in science and technology nowadays that they will undoubtedly encounter the language whatever they will do in future. Therefore, mastery of the language will be of great help to their future career, and even to travel around the world 4.2 Arousing the students interests in language learning Interest plays an important role in foreign language learning.

They will do a wonderful job after a careful preparation. If their performances win applause from the peers, they will be greatly satisfied, because they feel they have accomplished a task, and will be more confident. 4.2.4 Develop colorful activities, such as English Salon, English Corner, or a Speech Competition in English and so on.

With the development of society and science, some modern instruments have been introduced to classroom teaching and learning. It is new to learners and makes the knowledge directly and vividly. 4.2.6 Input the cultural background to make the students love the foreign country, and then they will be eager to learn the language.
