And the mos
10、t universal is the anxiety for examinations. At present, a survey, which came from 2714 students of six middle schools of Tianjin, shows that the higher grade students in, the more anxious they are, especially the students in grade 3 in both junior and senior high schools; two fifths of them can kee
11、p calm confronting the pressure of exam; 40% are of a little anxiety; 20% are often under excessive anxiety (Chen Shandong, 2006). Moreover, the adolescents anxiety has tended to be lower-aged. It manifested that anxiety for examination is a common psychological problem of students. The students psy
12、chological problem is nothing but the reflection of the educational problems. There are lots of reasons: pupils ability to manipulate distress is weak; parents havent given good family educations; the teaching methods of teachers are not so suitable, etc. Thus it cannot be coordinated only by teache
13、rs. However, our teachers can do something in their field because of their great importance to students which cannot be replaced by others. In fact, they are able to make a great contribution. Students Anxiety and Teachers BehaviorA. The Concept of AnxietyIt is almost impossible to define anxiety in
14、 a simple sentence. It has been studied in the psychological domain. It refers to a state of intense apprehension, uncertainty, and fear resulting from the anticipation of a threatening event or situation, often to a degree that the normal physical and psychological functioning of the affected indiv
15、idual is disrupted. Anxiety is defined as a state of uneasiness and apprehension or fear caused by the anticipation of something threatening (Scovel, 1991). Many researchers said that language anxiety can influence language learning a lot. Whereas facilitating anxiety produces positive effects on le
16、arners performance, too much anxiety may cause a poor performance.B. Forms of Students AnxietyAny complex task one undertakes can have elements of anxiety in it, because he doubts his abilities and wonder if he will indeed succeed. Second language learning is no exception to a long list of complex t
17、asks that are susceptible to our human anxieties. Horwitz (1991) have found that anxiety typically centers on listening and speaking. Speaking in class is most frequently difficult for anxious students even though they are pretty good at responding to a drill or giving prepared speeches. It is one f
18、orm that anxious students may have difficulties in discriminating sounds and structures or in catching their meaning. And they cause errors in speaking or on tests even though they have made a good preparation before. Price (1991) investigated by asking questions about what made students most anxiou
19、s in foreign language class. All of the subjects answered that having to speak a foreign language in front of other students resulted in the most anxiety. Other responses were making pronunciation errors or being laughed at by others. Then they will be self-abased and sensitive. Price then mentions
20、the role of the instructor. He says that those instructors who always criticize students pronunciation might make students anxious. He suggests that they could reduce students anxiety by encouraging them to make mistakes in class. Price also advises that instructors should make it clear that the cla
21、ssroom is a place for learning and communication. And nowadays, it is a fact that anxiety is a prevailing psychological problem of students, especially the test anxiety. Moderate anxiety can help students with their study, but too much may cause mental illness.C. The Concept of Teachers BehaviorIt i
22、s also difficult to explain teachers behavior in a sentence. In the process of teaching, teachers behavior is a media that accomplishes the communication between teachers and students. There are many distinguished educationists and scholars who have tried to make a definition for it. Among them, Gao
23、 Yabings definition is suitable: the teachers behavior is the teachers dominant activities or movements presenting in the actual teaching activities; it is not only the integrity of teaching methods, measures and means but also the external representations of teachers ideas about teaching (GaoYabing
24、, 2005). The teaching behavior is indeed the expression of teachers outlook on education. And teachers are the nucleus and the leading ingredient of education, because every change on education is finally carried out by teachers. So to improve teachers behavior is the key to upgrade our education. D
25、. Forms of Teachers BehaviorAt present, the main teaching behavior includes language, straightforwardness, training and evaluation. 1) Language includes verbal（also informal）language, written（also formal）language and body language. Body language is a soundless language. It refers to the gesture of t
26、eachers, which can convey ideas, feelings or attitude. Body language was not taken seriously long before. According to a study of America, it shows that 90% information is conveyed by soundless language, such as facial expression and different tune in terms of feeling intercourse (Huang Lin, 2003).
27、As it is known, the British and Americans have rich facial expressions and gestures in their communication. Body language plays an important part in language teaching and real life communication.Language is the basic method for teachers. They use it to explain, to describe and to give a comment, etc
28、. A wise teacher is good at using teaching language. The language used by teachers should be vivid and lucid. What language should be used and how to use it should be deliberated when explaining different knowledge, criticizing or praising students, for different students and on different occasions.
29、 2) Straightforwardness is often used in the classroom teaching because it is easier to be understood at most time. It has three forms: object tools for the pupil, intuition on language for adolescents and college students and the scene in real life.3) Training is a good way to strengthen what stude
30、nts have learned. In the second language learning, reinforcement is a vital element in the learning process, because it increases the likelihood that the behavior will occur again and eventually becomes a habit.4) Evaluation（such as criticism, praise, comment, tests, etc）is also an important method
31、for teachers. It aims at promoting students ability. Criticism is not to express anger or to lower students morale; tests are not for deliberating harassment for studentsbut helping check students fault and teachers defect.E. The Relationship between Students Anxieties and Teachers BehaviorsFrom the
32、 above definitions and forms of students anxieties and teachers behaviors, we can see that the relationship between them is very close. Teachers behavior makes a potential influence on students spirit（Tang Songlin,2002）. Good teaching behaviors will be of great help to students learning, contrarily,
33、 it will be likely to cause students anxiety. Then what behaviors would cause students anxiety? In the research of the relationship between students anxiety and teachers behavior, teachers inappropriate behaviors can be divided into two kinds: the dominance and the recessiveness. In terms of represe
34、ntation, there are three kinds:1) Poor efficiency in teaching. Some kinds of poor efficiency in teaching: unable to treat students correctly; unable to keep a good discipline in class; unable to impart the knowledge efficiently; unable to acquire desired teaching result; unable to adopt others ideas
35、 reasonably, etc（Tang Songlin, 2002）. In teaching activities, some teachers are not familiar with students characters, demand or different abilities. So they cannot organize the class efficiently. Besides, although the teaching method is appropriate, some teachers do not pay attention to renew knowl
36、edge. Consequently, what students acquired is something out of time so that it cannot meet the social development.2）Inhuman behaviors. Some teachers discriminate against the less advanced students. Some students are stubborn. They are not good at learning at all and do not comply with the discipline
37、, and moreover, they often strip up trouble. Therefore, some teachers treat them incorrectly. What they often used is to scold, to satirize, to punish severely and deprive students of their right to have the lesson at last.3）Tiredness for working. A research (Gao Yabing, 2005) proved that when teach
38、ers are unable to manipulate the professional stress successfully, there will be exhaustion in emotion, attitude and behaviors. Nowadays, most teachers are over-working because there is more and more pressure for teachers: the proportion of students entering higher school, professional reputation, a
39、nd professional job title. Once teachers are tired of working, they will lose enthusiasm; even detest working as a teacher. Then they will be impetuous and abnormal on teaching. As a result, it will leave great influence on students.The Ways to Deal with the RelationshipA. Positive Emotion1. The Imp
40、ortance of the Positive EmotionA good teacher knows how his students learn English. One of its principles is permeating feeling into cognition. Interest comes first. You can lead the horse to the river, but you cannot make it drink. Learning is not only an activity but also an experience of mental e
41、motion. Teaching and learning is not merely a cognitive process of knowledge, it is also a process of psychology change, and moreover, the cognitive effect often results from the psychology change. “One study with positive feeling will learn much better than that without, even being anxious and drea
42、dful about teaching material”, said Bloom，an educationist of U.S. Keeping an enthusiastic attitude is crucial to learn English well. Then it is not until students have positive emotion on themselves, on English and its culture, on learning English that they can keep motivation on learning English an
43、d get a good result. So in English teaching, the teacher should pay attention to students feeling from the beginning, and try to build a loose, democratic and harmonious teaching atmosphere. The American Educational Association concludes that teachers most popular characters are vigorous health, emo
44、tional maturity, loving of children, sympathy of social intelligence, liking for teaching, cheerfulness and sense of humor. Positive emotion is the key of good teaching. Only when teachers have a good emotion, can the recipient be active. The teachers feeling, which controls the teaching activity gr
45、eatly, is indispensable in teaching activity and the relationship between teachers and students. The study of psychology shows that teachers emotion has a direct effect on students. If teaching is carried on with a good mood, then it will be able to take advantage of the potential and activity; othe
46、rwise, it would be suppressed. Consequently, the teacher should have feeling of loving children and they should be good at regulating and arousing their emotion, controlling the bad ones. That is the basic professional accomplishment of teachers, and one of the keys to improve the teaching effect. 2
47、. Three Ways to Control Emotion Effectively In order to control emotion effectively, there are three main points: first, the teacher should have the sense of the role. That means the teacher is not only the spreader of knowledge but also the educator and model of feeling, then they should realize th
48、eir feeling would affect the teaching effect and their students physical and mental health all the time, then they should have the sense of profession; second, the teacher should grasp the value of emotion in teaching, giving full scope to it, not being controlled by it, especially the negative emotion; third, teachers have to learn to regulate their feeling, practicing skills of expressing emotion to improve the ability to control the feeling.
