Compared with other subjects，language has closer relationship with sensibility because one's sensibility will be expressed and passed by using languageThe relationship between teachers and students is very important for the success of whole teaching process，because the students in middle schools are easier to fluctuate on emotionOur purpose is to raise their studying interest and confidence and reduce their weariness and tensionIn English teaching，using affective teaching activity is one important way to cultivate students' active feelings and help them overcome passive feelings，meanwhile it is also one important approach to implement quality education

Emotional education is a teaching activity using affective factors in language teachingThese factors are divided into tow categories：first，individual factors，including motivation，interest，confidence，will，anxiety；second，the affective relationships，including cooperation，empathizing and othersNew Class Standard emphasizes that teaching serves for studentsTeacher should switch his initiative role during the teaching activity and lower down his status to build equal，harmonious and cooperative relationship with studentsDuring the teaching process，we should strengthen the communication with students and build relaxing，democratic，harmonious teaching atmosphere，thus they can think and speak independently，communicate and debate with others freely，which is good for cultivating their initiative learning habitsMoreover，we should lead them to understand the culture and personal feeling in the reading materials to reach the resonance

How to use emotional education in real teaching activity，in my opinion I have some ideas

1Improving teacher's ability and quality

As teachers，we not only should improve our professional knowledge，also our moral culture，which is the precondition to perform affective teachingStudents would like to trust the teacher having profound knowledge and gracious characterTherefore，teachers should improve themselves unceasingly on both knowledge and spirit aspects which will give students good effect，especially on their studying motivation

2Building good relationship with students

It is the first step to communicate between teachers and studentsIf the student can feel teacher' care and love，he will also give his respect and trust to the teacher and would like to communicate with himMoreover，he will bring his positive feeling to class and study hardHowever，if he is reproached and disregarded，he will disatisfy about the teacher，tend to dislike what the teacher teaches and refuse to accept any knowledge subjectivelyWe mustn't lose our temper and rebuke the students random，even if someone makes a very serious mistake，we should look before we leap prudent，because the students have strong pride and are easily hurted by others' wordsThey maybe fall back and never have courage and power to go forwardThat tends to happen to the students with bad representation in daily lifeTeacher should take\"inspiration\"as the first routine of teachingInitiative coming from\"appreciation\"is more resultful than persuading

3Making proper evaluation

Teacher's positive praise is the best inspiration for the student in classSuch as\"good\"，\"perfect\"，\"fantastic\"etcFor the students with lower grades，we should give more attention because they are more easily to be hurted，especially by teacher's words and deedsWe should give different degrees of questions for different level students and offer specific and pertinent evaluations，which will make student know his advantages and disadvantages and also have the sense of being regardedIt is also useful to improve their self-esteem and confidenceUsing mutual evaluation and self-assessment among students，they become the main parts of the classroom and take participate in all activities of class，so that they have more interest and initiative spirit to study

4Organizing teaching activity

We can develop performing，debating，proseminar and other activities to train students' active emotion and studying desireMultimedia teaching is a good way to attract students' eyes，so teachers can design the vivid courseware to activate students' hearing and vision

Through grouping and role switcing，we can organize the whole class affectivelyIt can stimulate students' studying positivity，exercise their expressing ability and strengthen their thinking abilityThe teaching organizing methods are in favor of building carefree teaching enviroment，inspiring students' studying enthusiasm and innovative consciousness，consequently teachers can achieve the goals that improving studying effects and application abilityAt the same time，teachers can also use expressions to control the whole class in order to create the harmonious classroom atmosphere，accordingly，all the students will go ahead together

All in all，the relationship between teachers and students influences students' studying mood directlyTeacher's moral character or prestige can even determine whether one student would like to study one subject or notThat is a sentiment transfering phenomenonTherefore，communicating between teachers and students is very importantMental obstacles，just like pudency，fearing and diffidence，which mainly come from being afraid of making mistakes，are main problems in studying EnglishMistakes are inevitable during the English studyingAs teachers，we couldn't rebuke students' mistakes overmuch but encourage them to listen，speak，read and write boldly，help them obviate mental obstacles and make progress from mistakesFor those students with lower grades，we should give more care and help and try to give them more practical opportunitiesThe questions given to them shouldn't beyond their ability so that they can deal with these questions and have more confidenceFurthermore，teachers should help students find the appropriate studying methods and active studying factorsWhen they get success，teachers should appraise them in the classroom，which will also give them a sense of achievement and pleasureWhen they make mistakes，teachers should indicate the mistakes politely，affirm their results and reduce their mental burdenWe should often let them retell text，put on performance and participate in activities to practice themselvesEmotional education is very necessary for Enlish learning
