Introduction
Our country’s reform and the opening up to the outside world make the education in our country develop continuously. Education is a matter of fundamental importance that is concerned with the country's development and the progress of human beings. As everyone knows, English is a language which is different from our native tongue.
English is widely used in the world, and people are aware of the importance and necessity in English learning.
With the rapid development and reform of the education in our country, people begin to know that the educational quality of schools depends on the quality of teachers. Interest is the internal power to spur students’ learning. It is natural that interest is the positive factor of learning English. Teachers should pay more attention to the whole English teaching and learning.
一. The Importance of English Learning
As we know, English is a language different from our native tongue. However, people learn languages in different ways for different reasons, and have different understandings about the language learning .For Chinese students, they have not enough exposure to good circumstances of English learning and will face various problems in learning English.
Language is a tool for people to communicate with each other or change their ideas and information. In the whole process, students are the main body in the course of English teaching and learning. So the teacher should guide his students to appreciate and discover the beauty of English language, practice the language skills, express their ideas freely, and exchange information.
The most important point is to communicate with others and understand cultures and customs of foreign countries. On the other
Hand as students, they should pay more attention to cultivating their interest in English learning, have correct attitudes, set clear goals and have right ways of learning English.
二. Interest in English Learning
Interest is a kind of positive factor in English learning, and has the function that teachers and students cannot underestimate in the English teaching and learning. It is important for the teacher to give great attention to the development of the students' interest, and of course, this is the key to success of English learning. As everyone knows, interest is the best teacher in English learning. From the psychological point of view, interest is an active factor for mankind to explore things and perform certain activities, and has a tendency to concentrate one's efforts on learning. Interest also plays a leading role in English learning. The interest of learning is an important integrant in the course of teaching and learning, and it is the most active and realistic factor of initiative and enthusiasm. Only those who have strong interest in English learning can do well and get the best results, and they can bring all their faculties into full play in learning. As every road leads to Roman, interest can lead one to any place where he wants to go as farther as he can. At last he will be able to make much progress and win great success in English learning.
三. Methods of Stimulating Interest
There are so many unfavorable factors that influence the formation of interest of students, such as traditional teaching
concepts and methods, and improper teaching materials. So, all of the aspects mentioned above should be taken into consideration
to improving the interest in English learning.
Another important thing is that teaching materials should be fit for students. When talking about the use of teaching materials, schools and teachers should choose the best ones that can keep pace with our time, consider the students' psychological features and students' requirements. Most of those materials should be full of novelty, close to the students' daily life and easy for students to read and understand. So teaching materials must be chosen according to the precondition of attracting students’ interest. Of course, teaching methods should fit for most of students.
In schools, some teachers pay little attention to developing the students' interest. It's natural that teaching methods are very important. The traditional teaching method cannot meet the students’ needs and cannot give joy and pleasure to students.
Improper methods may limit the students’ space of thinking and imagination. So teachers should adopt diversified teaching methods to enliven the dull atmosphere, and achieve the good effect. Society is developing and teaching methods should be changed with it, too. The English teaching and learning has its special features, and teachers should make full use of the features to attract the students’ attention and interest. On the other hand, students should also do more practice in cultivating interest, set clear goals and have good attitudes in the course of learning. And teachers should know that there are so many ways to arouse the students' interest in English learning.

In order to make students have the initiative, and consciousness in English learning, all the English teachers should do their best to raise the sense of responsibility in their teaching.
(二). Desire for Knowledge and Skills
In English learning, teachers should make students filled with the desire to learn more knowledge and skills.
