I. Introduction
English is one of the most important international languages which is used widely in the world. With the development of society, we have more and more chances to communicate between each country. As we all know, language is a communication tool which is very important for students to learn, especially for the junior middle school students, it is one of the most important subjects. Most students are not interested in English learning,the reason is that these students did not play a good foundation during the former times. They don’t know what the teacher say in English lesson and then lose the interest in this subject. It is well-known that the interest is the best teacher in learning. When we take the interest to learn, undoubtedly，we will get a great result in English studying. In order to let more students like English, teacher will find out more ways to attract students’ interest. This paper enumerates many methods to improve the interest of junior middle school students English study .

II.The conception of interest
Interest refers to the spirits, it is fond of something or emotional concerns about something. Psychology people try their best to understand and engage in something in some activity tendency of consciousness.It is shown that people’s selective attitude and positive emotional reaction toward to some things , some activities. Interest has a great importance in the human’s practice activity. It can make the person focus on their attention to bring a good psychological tension state.

III.The feature of interest in learning
What is interest？It is a kind of like emotion. It is based on the need of human’s cognition and exploration which can be an important motivation to promote the awareness of things and to find the truth. Take students’ studying for example , it is the most active factor in students’ learning motivation. When we have interest in learning ,we can easily talk about how to study and seek the learning methods and techniques. Tolstoy said：“the success for the need of teaching is not forced, but to stimulate the students’ interest .”Visible interest in the success of teaching in English study plays a very important role. English can be successful , largely depends on their interest in learning English . It is well known that English is a kind of language. When students have great interest in English ,they will be absorbed in their study. With interest , learning is not a burden, but a kind of enjoyment . Bruner said: “the best stimulate of learning is interested in the material ” In foreign countries , the first people who is Herbart take the psychology as the theory basis of pedagogy . He thinks everyone in our life have many interests that the education should be taken this as the foundation, Teachers should put the cause and cultivate the interest as one of the important missions. There is a famous people who once said:“Interest is signal and symbol of the growth ability.” For each parent , usually , observe their children’s interest is the most important for the education. With interest , learning will be positive, consciousness, initiative. Then the psychology can be in a good state.

IV.The features of interest in junior middle school student
The first interest characteristic in junior middle school students learning is : They have a broad certain. With their growth, they has expanded the scope of knowledge, curiosity is greatly enhanced . They are not only loved literature books, but also like science ,technology books . As a teacher , should be good at helping their students to increase the interest in learning. At the same time, teacher should cultivate students’ concentration in English learning.
The second interest characteristic in junior middle school students learning is: compare junior middle school students with primary school students, they have more differentiation and selection. For instance, some students love some of their subjects more, but not all of them like these subjects. Because it is related to the teachers’ education quality. For example, On the same subject, a teacher's teaching quality is not high, the students' interest in learning is significantly reduced. Next , it is related to the academic performance. If student’s grades or scores are still better, they can be interested in these subjects more. On the other side, if students’ scores or score is bad, it will affect the enthusiasm of learning. Once you get good grades or scores in a row, you would be interested in the subject. There is a positive significance of selection in students learning interest , but the teacher must pay more attention to avoid one-sided interest . Because some of students love art, so that they ignore mathematical subject. As we know, it is wrong.
The third interest characteristic in junior middle school students learning is: Start with some depth. Primary school students are more interested in some specific materials , novels and stories, while for some abstract theory are not. Junior middle school students under the influence of the right education, they will gradually on the theoretical, the need to use their brains to think about positive materials with interesting emotion. When they are reading literature works, are not interested in the narrative, but begin to the changes in people’s heart. In this way, the junior middle school students’ interest in learning will become more and more profound. However, in the absence of the proper education, under the influence of the junior middle school students’ interest in learning, something in the practical and superficial may still occupies a very important position. For example, some young are only interested in how to make or device when they participate in the activities of science and technology, but they are not interested in the principle of something about the machine structure or machine device. Take another for example, some of them are often pay more attention to the interesting plot in the story and don’t mind the real social significance of works, characterization of the characters when they read some literary works. For this situation,our parents and teachers should give them proper guidance and let their interest toward to the theory and practice with deep level development.
The fourth interest characteristic in junior middle school students learning is: They have a higher consciousness. Compare junior middle school students with primary school students, obviously, junior middle school students can consciously control their own interest which make their interest in learning , social life and their future get together. Moreover, junior middle school students have some indirect interest to encourage them to achieve a certain purpose they are longing for. They are trying to master the material or take part in this activities with positive attitude. There are many teenagers to be top students or“ young scientists”，what they can is hard-working with self-consciousness.
