This is not only because the theory of life-long learning and the theory of modem languages teaching but also the guarantee of improving the efficiency of English teaching. In order to develop students＇ ability of autonomous learning, English teachers should improve students＇ learning surroundings, develop their motivation, use creative teaching methods and make full use of multimedia equipment and network resources.展开更多

It then analyzes underlying factors influencing learner＇s academic ability. Finally it investigates some efficient class teaching strategies to promote their academic development, using class interventions such as the know-want-learn strategy （KWL）, the object-explore-success-happy strategy （OESH）, the cooperative project between students and teacher＇s strategy （CPST） and so on. Theoretically, the paper aims to place the SCT perspectives in the foreground. Pedagogically, it attempts to raise teacher-practitioners＇ wisdom so as to enhance learners＇ English academic achievements from the affective perspective.展开更多
