APPLICATION OF PSYCHO-HEALTH GUIDANCE AND BEHAVIOUR SUGGESTION IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING BASED ON FEEDBACK EFFECT OF POSITIVE EMOTIONS
Abstract
The positive emotions of English learners can improve their learning efficiency and academic performance. This paper introduces positive psychology into English language teaching (ELT), and empirically applies psycho-health guidance and behavioural suggestion in the ELT based on the feedback effect of positive emotions. First, a questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current situation and identify the existing problems of the ELT in colleges. Next, two group of students were selected for a comparative experiment on the application effects of health guidance and behavioural suggestion in the ELT. The results show that the current ELT in colleges lacks learning motivation, classroom participation, personality training, etc.; the application of positive psychology to the ELT stimulates positive emotions of the students and improve their English performance. The research findings provide a new way to improve the ELT in Chinese colleges.
