| The traditional English classroom teaching usually make the classroom atmosphere dull and boring, or even cause many students’ resentment to English study, which has a bad impact to students’ learning emotion and the effectiveness of teaching. Therefore, nowadays affective teaching thoughts attract much attention of educators and are widely applied to classroom teaching. Lead-in of class plays a very important role in English teaching, but in the teaching practice, many teachers neglect this part, and the content and form of lead-in are dull and boring. In this paper, I apply affective teaching theory into the study on lead-in,In order to improve the students’ study emotions and teaching effectiveness.This study optimizes the lead-in of junior middle school English teaching,and put forward the concept of affective lead-in and it’s theoretical basis. Then, I did a research on class lead-in in junior middle school, and found some problems, such as teachers usually ignore students’ emotions, the contents and forms of lead-in are boring and dull, teachers and students lack affective interaction. On the basis of the former study, I put forward affective lead-in strategies. In order to verify the validity of affective lead-in strategies, including the strategies to relive students’ emotions, to stimulate interests, to increase the successful experience, and to highlight the student’s subjectivity. Then I applied the strategies into practice. From The results show we can see: using affective lead-in strategies in English classroom teaching can improve the students learning attitude and attention, stimulate students take part in class activities and strengthen the relationship between teachers and students. |
