Abstract:
Due to diverse factors, the students majoring in science and engineering in common colleges usually tend to have weak study motivation for College English, which may be both intensified by online teaching practice over the two-year COVID-19 pandemic and reflected in current teaching and learning. The cultivation of healthy study motivation guarantees the accomplishment of College English learning tasks. In order to enhance students’ learning initiative or study motivation, it’s worth adopting the following methods in daily teaching practice: exposing the charm of English, integrating the knowledge of humanities into English teaching and utilizing psychological elements of appreciation and expectation.
受诸多因素影响,普通高校理工类学生的英语学习动机一直堪忧,而两年多新冠疫情期间的线上教学,加剧了这一情形,并在日常教学中有所体现。培养良好的学习动机是完成大学英语学习任务的保证,为引导学生实现英语自主学习,在日常教学中借助展示语言知识魅力,融合人文知识,同时关注心理因素作用,以强化学习动机培养的实践,值得尝试。
