The research in the paper is carried mainly by quantitative approach with a complementary qualitative one. And it selected two hundred sophomores randomly for investigation by ways of interviewing and questionnaire. By comparing two groups with a distinct English-learning effect, it concludes that positive emotions such as interest, pride, satisfaction are conducive to a more accurate response, active thought and a further learning objective, which ultimately lead to a good learning behavior. However, negative emotions have the opposite effect. Afterwards, based on the research results a new College English teaching mode is built with the exploration of combining the teaching skills, learning methods and positive emotions, which will enhance the teaching efficiency.
