2。 Theoretical Framework
2。1 Intelligence and non-intelligence factors theory
In Chinese education, affective factors show a great importance。 In English Curriculum standard (2011), the affective factor has been one of the five biggest goals。 It requires teachers to motivate and strengthen the interests of students of learning English, and then lead them to make the interests change into stable motivation of English study, which can help them build up confidence, train their mind to overcome difficulties, realize their advantages and shortcomings in their study, be willing to cooperate with others, and form the harmonious and healthy characters。 Finally, English course should strengthen students’ national awareness and broaden their international horizons。 They are all affective goals in current English study in junior high school。 And it’s the same in Go For It (2013), current English textbook of junior high school。 There are so many affective factors in the textbook, which need to be dug by teachers and share them with students。 Teachers are supposed to emphasize the emotions in the textbook which the writer wanted to express。 If it’s an inspirational story, teachers should use it to educate students and encourage them to study from it。 And if it’s an article introducing foreign culture, teachers should gradually train students’ awareness of international culture。 It’s the affective factors in English textbook, and the affective teaching in English teaching in junior high school。
However, there are two kinds of wrong trends in English teaching and learning。 First, the teacher neglects the importance of affect, but draws more attention to the learners’ intelligence factors。 It leads to the emotional illiteracy。 Second, the teacher ignores the relationship between affect and cognition。 During the process of teaching, the teacher always values the learners’ cognition, but less concerned the affective questions。 That is to say, teachers always pay attention to students’ intelligence factors, but ignore the non-intelligence factors。 Goleman (1995) expresses that, in the teaching process, we put too much emphases on the learners’ cognitive function, but did not fully take into account the learners’ non-intelligent, that is, affective factors, that impact on learning, which result in emotional illiteracy。
