1. Introduction 

More and more facts have proven that the humanist education idea caught the soul of education in a great extent. Humanistic education theory thinks that education should be student-oriented, promote the development of students’ personality, release students’ potential, and promote students to study and work creatively. As we all know, to a large extent, the mode of student-centered education relies on students’ subjective initiative. A good learner must be an active learner. Motivation plays an important role in our daily life. No matter what he does, he has his purposes. These purposes lead people to do something what they want to do and give people the right direction. Motivation is considered as the most positive factor to promote students’ English learning. Therefore, motivation is very essential in the learning of the foreign language. English class is student-oriented; student is the master of learning. As a teacher, of course, we should appreciate for students’ participation.  从人本主义视角论小学生学习英语动机的培养:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_57162.html
