Representation of Interest as a Catalyst for English Language Teaching

Abstract

Success and failure are two eyes in everyone’s life. Hard work determines one’s
success and failure. The intensity of hard work is mainly based on the percentage ofinterest.
Interest acts as an instinct for accomplishing any task. It is difficult to develop an interest
rather than developing one’s interest. So, for the better results, the ultimate aim of education
should focus on igniting one’s interest. The major defect in education is, it tries to develop
interest and not trying to find the interest of the pupils. Teachers try to achieve the attention
of students for the acquisition of knowledge. In their struggle to win the attention of the
students, they forget the importance of non-volitional enforced attention. Enforced nonvolitional attention is a type of attention lasts as long as there is stimulus. It is sustained
because it appeals to our instincts and interests. Thus attention based on instincts and interests
needs only a guide and also proves that teaching become conducive if it is based on pupil’s
interests.
