I did it in my class. Every day I write a phrase or idiom on the corner of the blackboard. Just like” the apple of one’s eye” “black sheep” “hot potato” “small potato” “Where there is a will, there is a way.” The students are interested in them. In this way, we can not only initiate their interest, but also enlarge their vocabulary.
7.Conclusion
We know the largest difference between mother language learning and foreign language learning is the environment. A child can soon learn his mother language well. He has heard a lot before he can say something and walk. Then after he is able to walk and say, he has a chance of listening to more. Before he goes to school, he has already good listener and speaker. He has spoken and communicated with his parents or friends for many years.
But for a foreign language, we can meet only in formal places, classes, for example; otherwise, we can hardly have a chance to meet it. So we should try to let the students be in a language circumstance.
Creating the classroom circumstance, building up English corner, watching English films, listening to English songs and so on are just part of the ways. We have to insist to do this, to let the students in a good language circumstance, to learn English well.
Above all, we must create a good English language circumstance for the students in China. Only in a good circumstance, that they can learn English well.
