Using language correctly can help promote emotion, developing friendship, respecting each other and improving interpersonal relationships. In all, there are countless relationship tying between language and emotional attitude. The aim of studying foreign language of teenagers is to study how to use it. So that, there is no doubt that interpersonal communication and emotional attitude cannot be ignored. There is not any countless relationship lying between emotional attitude and language but also emotional attitude acts on language directly or indirectly especially foreign language. Positive attitude such as lively and open and clear personalities can help the students to take part in activities of learning language and get more opportunity of studying. Strong motivation of studying, great interest and the spirit of bold practice are good for increasing the result of studying. Strong will and self-confidence are good for overcoming difficulties during studying. However, many a negative emotional attitude is bad for studying. For instance, being over shy and introversion prevent students from taking part in activity of studying. Over anxiety and timidity are bad for expressing boldly in foreign language to show the students language knowledge and skills. Recently, the professors who are making research on foreign language have done a lot of researches on the relationship between emotional attitudes and learning foreign language and has got some important results. Among them, the main conclusion is that solving emotional problems are good for improving the result of studying; negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, embarrassment, nervousness, indignation, doubt, disgust, and so on, are bad for developing the latent capacity normally of studying. No teachers, textbooks, teaching methods are useful if students are affected by negative emotion deeply. However, positive emotions such as self-confidence, self- respect, empathize, motives, pleasure and so on can create good situation for study. The process of education plays an important role in the development of teenagers. During education, teachers should pay more attention to students emotion during each period and subject. And they should help the students to develop their positive emotional attitude. There is a view existing in basic education in our country policy that emotional attitude is not the aim of teaching foreign language, maths, physic and other such special subjects but is the duty of ideological education course. Whats more, it is said that English is nothing to do with emotional attitude. Apparently, this is a narrow and misunderstanding of emotional attitude. Emotion is not a problem of teaching language even is not a problem of education, but it is the problem of development of human beings. However, developing personality is an important goal. In past education, emotion was often ignored. The development of emotion is various, and it must be embodied in every aspect of life. Teachers should try their best to combine emotion with teaching content while teaching. At the end of 20th century, there were many counties and areas, which reformed basic education, made a lot of standards of courses. Either the standards of learning language or other learning areas thought that emotional attitude is an important goal of courses.What is the goal of life? There are different answers. However, no one will answer that he doesnt want to have a happy life. Is happiness exists everywhere? Why there many people feel unhappy? What is real happiness? The answers of these questions are different among different kinds of people. Happiness demands emotional education.As an action of affecting the whole life of students, education had better pay more attention and zeal to the real situation and life of students rather than carelessness to them. The purpose of those is to try to make the students happier and happier and have a sense of happiness and the meaning of life rather than understand how they are living only. Happiness needs to be learned through practice, so happiness needs education.Jean Jacques Rousseau says that happiness will become illegibility if somebody seeks it before knowing where it is. Then he will meet a lot of danger during seeking it. However, he would better meet trouble while being in pursuit of happiness rather than do nothing and wait when somebody is full of enthusiasm for gaining happiness (Rousseau 2002). Many a people refuse to come to their senses in order to be in pursuit of happiness. There is grief and indignation and courage as well as many a pity and regret. The idea of seeking happiness is great although not anyone gets it during seeking process. Of course there are many reasons which result in this result. However, we can say that happiness will become illegibility if we do not have the right sense of it.According to the authors interview on middle school students interest in English in number 4 middle school of ShiHezi, she has got that many students dont like English so they often only got one third score while being tested. They have realized the importance of learning English and the important role of it and they also want to learn it well. However, they have no interest in English courses and they think that textbooks and classes are dull. The author also interviews some teachers. They say that they cannot make students feel pleasant in classes although theyd like to. Because they have to finish the teaching plan, they have no enough time. There are many theories existing, but little success. So how to balance teaching plan and effective education is still a problem. And how to improve and keep interest in English is the most important part. In the authors attention of this study, she will discuss this problem deeply basing on some theories and some famous professors and teachers experience. Emotional education is so important that we should attach importance to it and put it into practice. Most educators have realized this point. However, how to do it needs researching. II. Literature reviewCourse standard points out that emotional attitude which means interest, motive, self- confidence, will and the spirit of cooperation and many other related factors which affect the process and result of studying and nation awareness and international views has been considered as a main goal. And it is an important factor affects study and development of students. It also emphasizes that teachers should respect, understand students and make full use of positive emotional factor to affect the result of students study, develop their interest, strengthen their motive of study, regulate the attitude of study, establish self-confidence and practice their will. It also states that middle school teachers should guide the students to realize the goal and the meaning of studying English and their attitude towards English learning is closed related to the result. Keeping positive attitude of study is the key to succeed in learning language. Teachers should arouse and develop the students interest of studying English, make them translate interest into stead motive of studying in order to have them set up self-confidence and practice their will of overcoming difficulties, recognize their advantages and disadvantages, have pleasure to co-work with others and form positive and healthy personality. It demands teachers to design proper and real language circumstance and practicable activities in order to attract students to join in. Teachers should search lots of teaching sources as possible as they can to make full use of them and they should master ways of evaluating as many as possible to evaluate the activities of students as taking part in learning process. It is teachers duty to pay attention to the difference of students, help them to know themselves and establish self-confidence together with finding out and developing their latent energy and helping them forward Many professors and teachers claim that teaching with pleasure and emotion, Empathizing are very important methods for teaching. A teacher called ChaoZhiyong said in his paper on internet that teaching with pleasure is an important principle of teaching, which points that teachers should control kinds of teaching methods in order to make students feel pleasant. That is to say, teachers should establish a kind of situation, which can make students be pleasant to accept learning. The experiment of emotional psychology has proved that he can give play to his intellectual practice ability when one person is in pleasant emotion so that he can do well if there is interest in something (MengShaolan). Arousing the interest in learning English is not the destination but it is only a tool of teaching, which can result in better result. And he also points that teaching with emotion is a principle, which means that teachers should be in positive emotion while teaching knowledge, skills and expressing thoughts. And it also asks teachers to be good at controlling their move in order to make they be in pleasant, positive, heartened move and affect them. And teachers should have ability to deal with context to make it full of emotion. And he also claimed that empathizing principle means that let students mould their feelings. The function of removing of emotion of psychological theory shows that one person can move his feeling about something to other related things. According to this, students may remove their feeling about teachers to the courses they teach. That can be called empathizing in teaching which says that teachers factors, knowledge, teaching ability, spirit, personality, gesture and oral speaking can influence students deeply. So that teachers should lead students feel the writers feeling while explaining texts and putting emotional education, ideological education aesthetic education into English teaching so students get spirit infection and the mould of emotionEmotional teaching means that teachers consider the positive effect of emotion fully as well as cognitive factor during teaching courses in order to perfect the aim and result of teaching. Cognitive factor and emotional factor can be united completely only in this kind of teaching activities. And teaching means teaching human beings. Just like Rogers says that knowledge is not real knowledge without emotion but it just can make students have no obligation. During emotional teaching process, teachers consider the effect of emotion as the main tool and create fine situation and keep good relationship with students.  And teachers also should mould the students temperament and establish their will and strengthen their enthusiasm of study so to make the students inform fine attitude towards study and satisfy their requirement of respect. He says that just this kind of education can be called real education. Emotional English teaching means that teachers considers the students as the center in teaching process, and make full use of methods and theories of psychology in order to arouse and develop the positive emotional factor for English studying and make the students be interest in English, strengthen their learning motive, self-confidence and initiative and have them know the aim of learning English so that result in better result which means both teachers and students can improve their ability and make the students develop themselves completely. At the end of 1970s, Krashen points out that emotional factors filter the input of language, which was claimed by Dulay, J&m. Burt first was called affective filter hypothesis by Krashen.According to Krashens affective filter hypothesis
