摘要

本研究通过定性与定量相结合的方法对英才小学五年级学生英语学习兴趣（课兴趣、课后兴趣和对英语本身的兴趣）进行了调查研究，研究目的为

（1）了解英才小学五年级学生英语学习兴趣的现状；

（2）弄清英语学习兴趣和英语成绩之间的关系；（3）分析男生女生间英语学习兴趣的差异。

来自英才小学五年级四个班级的100名学生参与了本次调查研究。

研究发现：

（1）五年级学生的英语学习兴趣较高（Mean=2.427），课兴趣（Mean=2.598）比课后兴趣（Mean=2.342）和对英语本身的兴趣（Mean=2.341）要高；

（2）低兴趣组学生的英语学习兴趣和英语成绩成弱相关（r=0.312），高兴趣组学生的英语学习兴趣和英语成绩相关性更弱（r=0.051），这表明他们的英语成绩受英语学习兴趣的影响不大；（3）女生的英语学习兴趣略高于男生,但是男女生间英语学习兴趣的差异并不显著（t=-1.216;p=0.114>0.05）。
