experts point out that in teaching method aspects: there were “the happy teaching method”, “the direct method”, “the cognitive approach”, “the oral approach” , “the grammartranslation method ”and so on; some experts proposed english initiation is important especially, therefore our country pay more attention to the baby english education; some experts proposed that they must enhance the quality and abilities of teachers ; and some experts said, the teachers should treat their students equally just like treating their own children.but there are still some problems in english teaching. such as: many students even the college students can not express themselves smoothly and understand others clearly in an english-only environment. the lack of qualified english teachers is another important problem. a qualified english teacher should take special training courses and have enough knowledge of english. however, in many middle schools, teachers who dont have qualification of english teaching are still giving classes to their students. they even teach their strong accent to the students. these problems make great affection on students english learning, but besides these, teachers attitudes are important too. especially in junior schools, english teachers do not respect students, they make a favorite of the students who are good at english learning, and their attitudes arent equal. this thesis is based on the teachers attitudes.攀枝花学院本科毕业论文 body. attitude and teachers attitudesbefore research teachers attitudes, we must understand the meaning of attitude. what is attitude? social psychologists generally define attitudes as relatively lasting clusters of feelings, beliefs, and behavior tendencies directed toward specific persons, ideas, objects, or groups. the word attitude (from latin) is defined within the framework of social psychology as a subjective or mental preparation for action. it defines outward and visible postures and human beliefs. attitudes determine what each individual will see, hear, think and do. they are rooted in experience and do not become automatic routine conduct. attitude means the individuals prevailing tendency to respond favorably or unfavorably to an object (person or group of people, institutions or events). attitudes can be positive or negative. social psychologists distinguish and study three components of the responses: the first is cognitive component, which is the knowledge about an attitude object, whether accurate or not; the second is affective component: feelings towards the object and the third is conative or behavioral component, which is the action taken towards the object.so teachers attitude toward students is a relatively enduring orientation that teacher develops toward students and their behaviors. a. the importance of school environmentgenerally speaking, “teacher is engineer of human souls , teachers are the most important in social education. the school environment has been described as the second most important social environment for the child after family. hence, it can also be said that the teacher is the second most important figure in the childs life after family. b. factors affecting teachers attitudemany elements, internal and external, can affect teacher attitude. teachers own features is the most internal influent element, while the external factors include students influence, the relationship with peers and students parents and so on.students characteristics, appearance, school-life performance and forth on, all can affect teachers attitude toward them. usually, to some extent, inevitably, teachers will favor the students who are like him, who can get high academic achievement. we cant say it is wrong, but as a teacher, he is the teacher of the whole class, not some certain students. so he should decrease the degree of liking certain students.on the other hand, if a teacher cant get along will with peers, he must have the need to work off the negative feelings on his students or to use students to fulfill his own emotional and social needs. if a teacher cant get on well with some students parents, as he might feel intellectually or socially, superior to them, he can hardly avoid inappropriate attitude toward that student.it is almost impossible for a teachers attitude toward students to avoid influences from other factors. but what a good teacher should do is to minimize those unfavorable influences so that he can adopt the attitude beneficial to the students, to the relationship between him and the students, to his teaching and students learning.c. the different attitudes of teacherscertainly, teachers have a lot of attitudes. such as: attitude of life, attitude of work, attitude of profession, attitude of teaching. in this thesis, what i talk about is teachers attitudes which they treat students. particularly, the students of junior schools who are very young, sensitive, rebel and self-respect, so teachers attitudes and guidance are especially important for them.there is a universal phenomenon which is the english teachers pay more attention to the result good students, but neglect the bad result students in the present english teaching of junior schools. certainly, we cannot say teachers do not rightly, who doesnt like the intelligent children? but we should think for the future of those bad result students, they are not good at english learning maybe they havent work hard, maybe careless, or other reasons. but they spend a large portion of their day at school where they have direct contact with teachers and classmates together, if teachers give up them, how great injury they will be beard? how can they have a good future?every one has right to love beauty, its not be altogether unjustifiable that teachers like the students who are good at english learning. but teachers are not only ordinary people, but also teachers who are responsibility for the students. teachers should love all students and treat them equally. influence of teachers attitudes to studentsa. teachers unfavorable attitudes toward studentsthe negative affection produced by unfavorable teachers attitudes toward students. as favorable attitudes can increase english learning effectiveness, unfavorable ones may reduce it.you may consider how a teachers effectiveness might be impaired by these following attitudes toward students: the first is, strong dislike for particular students; the second is, extreme fondness for certain students; the third, biases toward achievement; the fourth, biases toward students appearance / certain kinds of behavior as docility or inquisitiveness; the fifth, impatient, unfriendly or hostile attitude toward students asking questions or asking for help or instruction; and the last one is, treating them with disdain and contempt rather than patience and respect.when a teacher has a strong dislike or biases against particular students for some reasons as sex, appearance, disposition, family condition, especially low-achieving or under-achieving, he will, consciously or unconsciously, avoid public communication with them, and give them feedback that is superficial, inconsistent, and unconvincing on the quality of their work. he demands less from the students and gives less praise, less wait-time for their answers, calling on them less, and often criticizing them more frequently. a student who is frequently criticized by a teacher, especially if he is already to be low in self-esteem, will lose confidence in his own ability and will tend in consequence to hard to change under-achievement because they attribute their performance to external forces teachers unfair treatment, teachers traits, studying conditions, degree of studying difficulty that are beyond their control. this lowers their expectations for success, their motivation to achieve, and ultimately, academic achievement itself.b. four types of students dispositionslots of people believe that there are two aspects of attitudes: positive and negative, in a simple word，good or bad. but we may not to be lumped together the attitudes of teachers to treat the students? the positive attitude maybe not good, and the negative attitude is not bad.in the educational psychology, humans dispositions have four kinds of types: the plethora, mounts the liquid, the choleric temperament and the despondent nature, different people have their own disposition characteristics, and students are also same. the different students dispositions are different. that is true: an exceptional teacher also is a psychologist. teachers should use different attitudes according to different students characteristics for helping them to enhance the english abilities and progress unceasing.c. different results of teachers different attitudesthe survey showed that，80% students of junior schools hope that the teachers can take care of them and love them look like their parents and 20% of the students do not care, majority of this part of students are boys, moreover most of them are autistic children and do not good at english learning. as an english major graduate, i was fortunate enough to a junior school and together with a group of lovely children.there are four students give me deep impression. student a is a clever girl and she is good at english. she is a good student in the teachers eyes and a good daughter in the parents eyes, she ever does not make a mistake, and does not let parents worry about her, and nearly all the people who know her said she is a good child. student b is a boy, intelligent by natural endowments，he is also good at english learning but mischievously. student c is a boy, his english result is not good, therefore their english teacher do not like him, and the parents also frequently beat and scold him. student d is a girl, although she makes great effort in study, her result always not too good enough.with them together a long time, i understood their disposition characteristics gradually, they also often share the feeling of live and study with me. student a said that she felt very tired, “i must be a good student and a good daughter, and cannot make a mistake. moreover these feelings cannot tell teacher and the parents, otherwise they will worry about me.” she made my heart ache, such young child sustained so great stress. how could she fell not tiredly? as the proverb goes: gold cant be pure and man cant be perfect.” but student a must try her best to do perfectly. teachers expectation gives her tremendous pressure. she couldnt play together with classmates, even after school, she also studied in the classroom. their english miss. yang is over 30 years old and paid more attention to her, but this made her could not stop to have a rest.although student b is very naughty, he is good at english, miss. yang still liked him very much, because he is very expansive, nearly all classmates liked playing with him.student c told me his original result was very good, teacher also liked him very much. but because the parents have divorced, his result continuously glides down, miss. yang did not like him, he lost the confidence of study english, too.student d is an introvert girl; she did not like talking with others. she always cry when miss. yang criticized her. she said as soon as miss. yang called her to go to the office, she feared very much. i told these four students situation to miss. yang, she said, “i can not imagine such young children can have so many minds.” she promises will change the attitudes to them.in the next month, miss. yang changed her attitudes really. regarding a, she no longer pays excessive attention, sometimes also called her to play with classmates, and did not always stay in the classroom, and did not compel her in learning. a was expansive gradually, and she played with others, and the result is better than before. b is a careless student, miss. yang thought too spoil him before, miss. yang did not let him off his wrong, and he couldnt play if he could not correct the mistake. so b become careful and makes fewer mistakes than before.miss. yang recalled own attitude to c, why did an excellent child become like this? miss. yang thought she should take the majority of responsibilities, if she can gave c a number of cares and understanding when his family experiences misfortune. let him feel the warmth of teacher and classmates, he may not be this. miss. yang told own guilt to student c, and hoped he could perk up. afterwards, student cs result became well, and he became welcome among classmates. student d is a timid girl, miss. yang asked her in the time after school to communicate frequently, do not say the learning or english, only chat. gradually, she become bold, the words also more and more, and made progress every day.after these four students transformation, miss. yang also understood why they had lots of ideas, she said, “as a teacher, you must open heart with them if you want to let the student obtain the good result, and understand their idea of the heart”.i asked the students their opinions about miss. yangs, they all said, “miss. yang was a bias teacher before, she liked the students who were good at english, but now, miss. yang is much better, she is our friend, she will chat and pl
