It is well known that the traditional classroom has brought many problems for a long time in the classroom teaching practice, like widespread class size, tight teaching time, heavy tasks of teaching new textbook issue and some forms of organization of teaching  cannot enable each student to participate in activities。 Classroom Teaching is more like “teacher talk, students listen” model or “teacher asks students to answer” model。 It’ s a single and rigid teaching method and is mainly unidirectional, and lack of emotional awareness between students and teachers and peers’ cooperation (Gardner 85)。 There is a long-standing tendency in teaching, which emphasize on teaching knowledge rather than taking care of students’ emotion but not only paying attention to learning outcomes, ignoring the learning process。 This teaching system ignores the positive role of emotion awareness in teaching and interaction in the development process between students。 Most of the students’ creativity has been curbed, so that students have lost confidence in learning English。

The traditional mode of teaching English is to teach the words and phrases, explain the lessons, explain the grammar, read the text and do exercises to consolidate (Goleman 95)。 Obviously, this teaching model is based on teacher-centered, while ignoring the process of students own participation。 In fact, the process of learning is more important than learning results。 Students cannot really appreciate reading skills。 Moreover, accepting a wide range and a large amount of information enable students to feel bored, monotonous, reducing the students’ interest in learning。 Therefore, the research for teaching English course is more and more important。

2。 Literature Review

2。1 The foreign research on the Emotional Intelligence Theory 

The Emotional Intelligence Theory is put forward and test began in 1990s。 It is a theory that is based on the study of cognitive psychology and research on education advanced by psychologist Salovey (P。 Salovey) and professor Meyer (J。 Mayer)。 This theory was put forward, coinciding with contemporary trend of education and hitting the mark of the disadvantage of traditional education, which has aroused widespread concern。 Especially the New York Times columnist Goleman has written Emotional Intelligence according to the theory of Emotional Intelligence, which is easy to be understood by people over the world。 That book caused a sensation in the world for a long time, EQ is well known and become a trend of contemporary education striking。

About what is the Emotional Intelligence, Salovey and Meyer firstly contains the definition of Emotional Intelligence according to the original Emotional Intelligence: the ability to monitor their own and others’ feelings and emotions, the ability to distinguish the differences of emotions and the ability to use this information to guide the inpidual thinking and the ability of action (Gu Mingyuan 20)。 This definition of the meaning of Emotional Intelligence regulates just from the three aspects: supervision, differentiation and the use。 However, the ability of these three aspects only treats of the main body of the emotional perception and regulation, ignoring the emotional thinking。 A revised definition of Emotional Intelligence is proposed in their recent paper, which includes the ability to accurately detect, evaluate, and express emotions, the ability to approach and produce feelings in order to promote thinking and the ability to regulate emotions in order to help the development of the emotions and intelligence。 The latter definition adds the ability of emotion to guide and promote the thinking, that is, to recognize the effect of emotions on the subject and to be able to guide and promote the subject appropriately。 Obviously, the latter one is more complete。 来*自-优=尔,论:文+网www.youerw.com
