1. Establish good relationship between teachers and students

1.1 Build a harmonious relationship with the students

There is an old Chinese saying， “If only the students are closed to teacher， they would love the teachers lesson.” In other words， when the students like and cling to the teacher， they will love the subject that the teacher teaches. Therefore， to carry out teaching and learning smoothly， teachers should build a harmonious relationship with the students. All of the students are equal and they have the same right to accept education al school. So teachers should tread each student equally and have to make the students feel that they are as important as any other students in teachers eyes. Moreover， teachers win dignity and respect from the students. Meanwhile teachers also need to make friends with the students equally， communicate with them and know them well with both life and study. It is an annoying thing that talking about the study but nothing.

1.2 Helping students to build up confidence

It is true that every student is eager to make progress in his studies. Once the progress has been made， he will have the sense of achievements. As a result， he is full of interest， and makes still further progress. At any time when a student fails in the examination， a teacher shouldnt criticize him hastily. The teacher should encourage the student to study diligently again and get good marks next time. When the student makes progress， Teacher should give praise to the students even if they make very small progress ， use the encouraging words ， such as Good ， OK， CLEVER and use “try” ， “Do your best”，” I believe you can do better next time.”

2. Organize effective lessons

2.1 Design wonderful lessons

Preparing work goes before effective class. Teachers have to prepare the lesson well is beyond doubt. A good preparation bases on the teaching material as well as the students. Teachers should learn the teaching materials thoroughly and understand the students who are going to be given lesson well. Besides， a clear teaching procedure must be borne in mind. That means teachers need to be familiar with the clues and make sure that the class will be carried out step by step. A good lesson not only means the students grasp the knowledge well but learn it in an easy and vivid way. Then it asks for the teachers to create some effective methods to present the lesson and useful ways to consolidate it. This step should be finish before the lesson. It is an assurance for a vivid lesson which can arouse students interest.

2.2 Create English-learning atmosphere

English is a foreign language. Students have little chance to hear and say it out of class. As far as the English learning in primary school is concerned， most of the students rely on the teacher lead them to the English world. Language learning can not go without atmosphere. During the class， teachers should create English-learning atmosphere， which helps students learn English easily. Using English classroom language as much as possibly is a common way. It will offer the students the greatest chance to hear English. With the limitation of students vocabulary， teachers have to simplify the teaching language. The body language helps a lot. Teachers would use facial expressions and body movement to make the student get the meaning easily. They will possibly find it interesting and imitate the teachers tone and facial expressions. That will make the students immerse themselves in the English world and help to make the class vividly.
