Interest-driven teaching can stimulate students’ interest in learning, thus improving their learning efficiency and ability to flexibly use knowledge throughout the learning process. The purpose of this paper was to discuss the interest-driven teaching method in college geography lessons. In the geography lessons in colleges, interest-driven teaching is an important means to stimulate students’ interest in learning to improve teaching effects. Seismology, an important chapter in geography, is an important part of subject knowledge, which is also a powerful teaching course to arouse students’ interest. Taking a chapter of seismology as an example, this paper discussed how to improve students’ interest and participation in geography through interest-driven teaching approaches. The study showed that interest-driven teaching helped to stimulate students’ active learning and exploratory passion, to improve learning effects.
