Introduction It is well known that the English language has become a universal language and is far more widespread than any other on

8、e. It is the language used for international communication trade and commerce which makes it as a very important and indispensable tool in this age of globalization.Nowadays, the economy of the world is increasing, and the connection of each country is enhanced, thus the world is becoming smaller an

9、d smaller. English as a common language among the world is necessary for us, and Chinas accession to the World Trade Organization as well as the 2008 Beijing Olympics showed the importance of English ability for our Chinese people. Thus, there are an increasing number of people to learn English, and

10、 colleges also absorb more and more students to learn English. However, the situation of the college English studying is not so satisfied. For some of the college students chose English as his major under his parents willing, but not his mind. Or some of them dont know the way to study, and dont pay

11、 the attention to nonintellectual factors during the study.May researches showed that someones success is decided by nonintellectual factors at 80%, however, the intellectual factors counts only 20%. And one of the famous scientists said that in the progress of the world it is not the talent that pu

12、lls the world, but how we use the talent. Those words pointed out that the importance of nonintellectual factors in the progress of the world. Likewise, nonintellectual factors also play a very important role in the college English study, and they are the key elements to get success in studies.Langu

13、age studying is a complicated progress of psychological acknowledgement and skills learning, especially the English learning which is enslaved many factors. And the psychology research shows that learning a foreign language have two aspects the learners （internal） and the learning environment （exter

14、nal）, and the internal elements include intellectual and nonintellectual factors. Generally speaking, there are two ways to define nonintellectual factors. The generalized nonintellectual factor refers to the all psychological factors, and in a narrow way, the nonintellectual factors include Interes

15、t, Motivation, Emotion, Volition, Beliefs, and Character. In the next part I will introduce each of them, and analyze how they play the role in the college English studying. Role of Nonintellectual Factors in College English Study A. Interest Interest is a feeling or emotion that causes attention to

16、 focus on an object or an event or a process. In contemporary psychology of interest, the term is used as a general concept that may encompass other more specific psychological terms, such as curiosity and to a much lesser degree surprise.Personal interest is the individual with the specific thing,

17、activity and artificial object, the positive and sometimes tendentious, selective attitude and emotions.Interest is not only for the surface of a thing. It occurs when you obtain the knowledge or get emotional satisfactory after participating some activities. And interest is not only referred to one

18、s acknowledge, but also linked his emotions. If he even doesnt know the thing, he certainly wont have emotion to it, nevertheless the interest to it. On the contrary, if he knows it well, then he will have a great emotion to it, then it will arouse his great interest. Finally, he will show his willi

19、ngness as well as his pleasure when he does it. Besides, interest will show its invisible power to help him to get more from it.Einstein once said: “Interest is the best teacher.”One of the famous American psychologists pointed out that in his In the progress of Education the best motivation is the

20、interest in it, and the interest to what you are learning will help you learning initiative, thus improve your efficiency of work or study. However, in the college, amount of students are not willing to study English, because they were forced by their parents or teachers, and even have little intere

21、st in English. Although they are still study in the classroom, remembering words and doing practices, their mind is not willing and it just work like a dull. So there is no doubt that they cant study well.Having cultivated students interest of learning English, the students will not feel that learni

22、ng is a burden if they are interested in studying. They will put their hearts into learning actively. Arousing the interest of the students is the key to learn English well. Learning interest can promote the students to throw themselves into studying enthusiastically. It also can enrich the students

23、 knowledge, open the students mind and make up for a weakness of intelligent development.Since interest is so important in English study for college students, how could we make students being interested in English learning? Generally we can spread the possibility of this aim by the following methods

24、. Firstly, we should change our traditional perception about English teaching and learning and bring the real balance of teaching and learning into classes. In the conventional teaching model, all the students in a college share the same teaching plan and teaching process, the students are responsib

25、le for learning English well, and the teachers only concentrate on how to teaching well. Thus, the teaching section and the learning section are separated into two independent parts without individualization and pertinence. As a result, most of the students cannot learn every lesson step by step, la

26、cks of real communication and requirements exchanging with their teachers, and are forced to move on to new lessons. Then less and less students are interested in English learning because they confront many difficulties in English learning without concern, they fall behind of the teaching plan an te

27、aching process of their college, and finally lose faith in English learning. No wonder there is even no change in their English level after several years of college English study in their university. To make things worse, a large number of college graduates only can speak out several simple English

28、words such as hello, go, good after a whole decade of English learning from middle school to university. I am afraid that the conventional English teaching in our education system is one the maximum failure of education in history. The only way to switch this situation is to change. On one hand keep

29、ing the balance of teaching and learning, concerning the individualization and pertinence of teaching plan and teaching process, and ensuring that all students have a solid foundation are the priorities in college English teaching. On the other hand the students also should speak out their ideas and

30、 needs whenever they confront difficulties and problems in English study. Thus every student has a solid foundation of the English knowledge and skills they have learnt which makes them easier to learn new lessons. Then students will be very interested in English learning and their study of English

31、becomes a positive cycle.Secondly, we can change the teaching pattern to increase the interests of students in English learning. In a conventional class, the teacher speaks and the students just listen and take notes. As all known, language learning is totally different from other knowledge learning

32、; it needs more practice than understanding and thinking. Therefore, the creative English class should be an interactive class in which the main role of teachers is to lead the students to practice and that the students play the main role in the whole class. This new teaching pattern will bring mutual benefits to teachers and students. The teachers will have more energy and time to stimulate
