The students can’t express encouraging sentences specifically. For this reason, the teachers have to keep looking for the specific situation or events.
E. Benefits of conducting the teaching program
i. Cultivate students’ social interest : Students understand that they are not perfect. Besides, hard-working, making progress and contributions are more important. Students can construct self-concept, confidence and courage. Furthermore, they are willing to concern others.

Intensify teachers’ faith in encouragement : Because teachers notice the students’ attitudes change from suspicious to willing to encourage others and encouragement enhance the effects of class management and teaching, they agree the value of encouragement more, and also develop positive effects to the teacher-student relationship.
As the results mentioned above, the following is the reflection of this study.
Teachers can’t stay with the students forever. The way which the students practice how to express their encouragement is a sort of skill teaching and the purpose is to make each of them can notice their own value, and they can help themselves escape from the thought of “I can’t.” to “I’m willing to.” when they are facing difficulties.
