摘要:在中国,英语是作为第二语言来学习的,小学英语教学有着自己的独特性。学习动机对学习效果有很大的影响,作为内在学习动机之一的自我效能感则成为本研究的重点。通过问卷调查,自然情境下的观察以及非正式访谈得出,小学生英语学习自我效能感较高,但他们的英语成绩却没有普遍偏高;小学生把学习英语作为一项任务,而不是主动的有兴趣的去学习。 为了在这种情况下提高学生英语学习的效果,教师需要培养学生学习英语的兴趣;培养学生良好的学习习惯;建立适当的奖励惩罚制度。

小学英语课程的重要性
社会生活的信息化和经济的全球化,使英语的重要性日益突出。英语作为最重要的信息载体之一,已成为人类生活各个领域中使用最广泛的语言。许多国家在基础教育发展战略中,都把英语教育作为公民素质教育的重要组成部分,并将其摆在突出地位,我国也不例外。
改革开放以来,我国的英语教育规模不断扩大,教育教学取得了显著的成就。英语在我国基础教育中颇受重视,“小学英语课程的学习,既是学生通过英语学习和实践活动,逐步掌握英语知识和技能,提高语言实际运营的过程;又是他们磨练意志、陶冶情操、拓宽视野、丰富生活经历、开发思维能力、发展个性和提高人文素养的过程。”
