中文摘要：兴趣是最好的老师。瑞士著名教育家皮亚杰说过：“所有智力方面的活动都要依赖于兴趣。”这句话显示出学习兴趣在英语学习中的重要性。浓厚的学习兴趣可以让学生在求学生涯中如鱼得水的进行学习,并且能够激发学生的学习欲望，使他们在学习过程中更加努力。在中国，应试教育已经成为当前的主流教育方式，而素质教育却只是一种口号。人们总是忽略学生学习兴趣和应用能力的培养。农村学生由于学校教学设备差和其他因素的制约，导致他们对英语学习缺乏兴趣，甚至使他们对英语学习产生厌恶情绪。挖掘学生的英语学习兴趣多少年来已经成为人们的焦点所在。本文就云南省文山州新店第一中学的学生学习英语学习兴趣进行调查分析，得出对英语学习兴趣影响的因素，并将对英语学习兴趣调查结果对农村中学学生英语学习的影响提出建议。
