English.
The teachers should combine the
students' English knowledge level and
characteristics to create positive learning
atmosphere and situation, fully stimulate the
students‘ learning interest, and improve their
ability to communicate in English. The
teachers can prepare and design appropriate
language topics, and combine the hot topics
that the students are interested to carry out
effective English teaching. Take travelling for
example, the teachers can design language
topics for a scenic spot to encourage students
to express and write. Students can collect
materials from different aspects, such as
asking others, search the internet, etc, create
the travel guides and the introductions to the
spots, arise studying enthusiasm , make the
students feel like expressing their views and
get better interaction between teachers and
students.

Teachers can fully explore the emotional
factors in university English textbooks,
prepare for new lessons from different angles

process the learning materials from the
emotional point of view, display and present
the materials to students, realize the
transmission and exchange of emotional
factors in English chapters to cultivate the
positive emotions, develop the learning
desire, realizing the effects of imparting
knowledge and conveying one‘s feeling in
university English teaching. At the same time,
teachers should conduct emotional teaching in
a way that students can accept, express the
emotional contents in a fascinating, appealing
and humorous way, making students are
immersed in the moods of enjoying learning
,and motivating themselves to participate in
English learning activities.
For example, when teachers explain the
topic of ―security‖ in university English
teaching, they can illustrate the content from
the perspective that security is one of the most
basic psychological needs of human beings,
guiding students to think and discuss, let
students express themselves freely. Students
can use examples to express their attitudes
and feelings about ―security‖, so as to help
them examine themselves, and know about
their individual needs.

students. When teachers are in full-spirited

relaxed expression, which leads to emotional
transfer, making students be immersed in the
learning content and activities, eliminating the
tension and fear of learning English.
Take ― Giving Thanks‖ for example, the
text is about the three letters of thanks to the
father, grandmother and principal to express
the author‘s thanks to them. To the author‘s
surprise, he received the replying letters from
them and expressed their thanks to the author.
The text can inspire students‘ beautiful
emotions and educate them to have a grateful

their daily life, guide students in a fun, life-
oriented language, and create a free, equal and
relaxed English learning atmosphere, so that
teachers and students are unconsciously
integrated into it and enjoy the atmosphere of
university
English
classroom,

students‘ thought, and explore the inner
mystery of university English knowledge.

life, and make university English return to

students, carry out flexible and diverse
English teaching designs so that students can
fully recognize the connection between
English teaching and life, and truly feel the
value of university English knowledge in life,

activities, improve their ability of English
oral expression, communication skills, etc,
and generate the feeling of self-satisfaction
