Abstract

With the further development of linguistics, people gradually realize that emotional factors and foreign language teaching are closely related. Foreign language learning efficiency depends not only on the level of students' cognitive ability, but also on the positive or negative factors in the process of English learning. The current foreign language education should get rid of the following two misunderstandings. Firstly, pay attention to the development of knowledge and intelligence but neglect the development of emotion, which result in the "emotional illiteracy". Secondly, ignore the relationship between emotion and cognition, especially the effect of emotion on promoting or blocking language learning. In education, we emphasize on the cultivation of cognitive ability and in the process of developing cognitive ability, we ignore the influence of emotion. The practice has proved that the solution of emotional problems is helpful to improve the students' learning effect and develop the function of positive emotions such as self-esteem, confidence and motivation. However, in the practical English teaching, many teachers pay less attention to the emotional factors, or though they want to pay attention to them, but the training and inspiration go the wrong way and fail to bring the emotional factors’ in English learning into role. Teachers should pay attention to the students' will, emotion and needs and attach importance to the establishment of a good relationship between teachers and students, so as to form a suitable learning atmosphere with emotional rapport. Strengthen the positive emotional communication, and make it "catalyst", "stabilizer" and "lubricant" in the process of English teaching.
