1. Introduction
At present, almost all the students in China learn English from their teachers and the classroom.  as a place where various kinds of teaching activities take place .So great attention has been paid to classroom English teaching. However, the whole situation of English teaching primary schools is not satisfactory. There are many problems existing and classroom teaching needs to be improved
It is known to all that interest is an important and crucial factor to influence motivation in foreign langue acquisition. "Interest refers to a state of wanting to learn or know. It can also be called curiosity". Some studies on motivation in foreign language acquisition, suggest that interest occurs when learners have a higher level of motivation. Usually primary school pupils are curious about many things around them, and desirous to perceive them. However, their interest is rather direct and unstable, that is, they do not care about the significance or the result of English learning as an adult does. In addition to keeping their direct interest in the teaching, the teacher should also help them be aware of the significance and importance of English learning.
