Besides, he

8、 came up with an idea that the students can be divided into five categories: inertion, lazy, self-contempt, revolt, self-centered, which is depended on their psychological show.And he found that these students are not different from the students in mental quality, who are good at learning English.

Giving enough chance for students to show their potential In the class, even though students are not willing, teachers should encoura

14、ge students to show themselves, and give advice properly or a word of praise. In fact, students usually have a kind of psychological desire of being paid attention, only because of fear of making mistakes they keep silent. Through this way, they feel being paid attention and are eager to make some p

18、tudents When having problems, students usually ask their teachers or classmates for help. However, some students would rather put them aside than seek help.

Of course, not only should teachers make their efforts to develop the quality but also students themselves and families. However,

21、 teachers play a special role in the process of cognition, as guiders, who are required more in both teaching technique and communication skills they should take care of students not only in courses but also in daily life. In order to make students learn in an enjoyable environment, teachers should
