The findings of this study are as follows. 1) The use of the interactive teaching method with language picture books has a significant effect on students’ motivation to learn English, by observing students’ active participation in the classroom. 2) The English picture books inspire children’s curiosity and interest in reading, increase their motivation for English learning, and make them quite interested in reading. 3) The course incorporated a variety of teaching activities to create a happy learning atmosphere, so that students can continue to work toward their English learning goals after the course is over. We also present the conclusions and discussions based on the results in the hope that language picture books can develop students’ capacity for listening and concentration and contribute to the development and improvement of their language ability and reading ability. |
