The document discusses pupils' attitudes towards learning English and the factors that influence their attitudes. It covers 1) how pupils' attitudes are formed and the differences between younger and older children, 2) teachers' views on finding out about pupils' attitudes, 3) ways to develop positive attitudes, and 4) how teachers' own attitudes towards English can impact pupils. The key factors that influence pupils' attitudes include teaching methods, seeing usefulness outside of school, personal preferences, friends' opinions, and youth culture. The document suggests teachers make a questionnaire to understand pupils' feelings and discusses strategies for motivating pupils and developing positive attitudes.
