Primary

【
Abstract
】
In order to avoid the boring
educational model,
English
teachers
need
to
start
from
the
students’
actual
situation
in primary
schools. At the same time, the primary English
teachers
also should do everything
possible to mobilize the enthusiasm of
the
students
according
to
the
level
difference
of
pupils.
As
a
good
English
teacher, you should not ask pupils to answer the
very
difficult questions, and should
give them the chances of success
in the
English classroom, so as to stimulate their
interest in
learning.
Without
doubt,
once
the
students’
interest
is
triggered,
they
naturally
got
about
overly
emotional
displays
in
the
situation,
and they are also easy to practice
English sentences. For the
situational
teaching
method,
the
English
teachers
can
provide
a
good
indication
or
inspiration
for
students,
and
training
their
creative
thinking,
as
well
as
cultivating
their
ability
to
adapt.
Therefore,
this
paper
will
explore
the
application
of
the
situational
teaching
method in English
Teaching in primary schools.
1.
Introduction
As we all know, in the process of
English Teaching in primary
schools,
most of the teachers are struggling with it, and
wanting
to
finding
the
best
learning
method
for
students’
foundation.
After
第
1

all, English is
not the mother tongue of the students, introduced
as a foreign language in teaching, the
English teacher must find
the
method
that
how
to
let
the
pupil
accepted
the
English
knowledge
and got in for
keener interest in teaching at the same time. That
is to say, many teachers need to keep
trying to find a way. As a
mater of
fact, the situational teaching method that is
effective
so far in English teaching
in primary schools.
The situational teaching
method particularly pays attention
to
the
experience
in
the
process
of
students’
situational
learning,
so the pupils only
fully experience something, their learning
initiative
can
be
mobilized.
Thus,
through
the
creation
of
a
better
language environment
and provides a lot of opportunities for
language
practice,
the
students
must
realize
their
own
experiences,
perceptions,
practices, participation and communication, in
order
to form the sense of language.
Besides, under the guidance of
teachers, the students can master the
language law and form an
effective
learning strategy ultimately through such means as
observation, detection and antibody.
The effectiveness of new curriculum reform further
stressed
that the teaching should be
linked to students’ life, create the
real language situations as much as
possible, and organize the
language
practice activities with communicative
significance. As
第
2
页
the main body
for implementing the new curriculum, the English
teachers should learn how to naturally
combine English study with
experience
in life. Therefore, in English teaching in primary
schools,
the
very
good
use
of
situational
teaching
method
can
enable
students
to
perceive
actual
life situation
in
samll environment
in
the classroom, integrate into the lager
social environment, and
truly apply
what they have learned, it is particularly
important.
This
paper
discusses
the
application
of
situational
teaching
method
in
English
teaching
in
primary
schools,
clarify
the
theory,
and
put
forward the role, and conducted an
in?
鄄
depth analysis, in order
to
stimulate
students’
interest
and
motivation
in
learning
English,
as
well
as
develop
students’
creativity,
so
as
to
improve
the
effect
of English teaching
in primary schools.
2. The Concept of
Situational Teaching Method
3. The
Principle of the Situational Teaching Method
3.1 Intuitive Principle
About the intuitive
principle, it is intuitive and concise,
that required
by
English classroom teaching.
Because
the only way,
the teacher can shorten the distance
between the English and
expressional
things,
so
as
to
speed
up
the
rhythm
of
English
teaching,
and improve
the
efficiency
of
English teaching.
In
the situational
teaching, as
long as the teachers fully use of the figurative
第
3
页
pictures
and
realia,
it
will
improve
the
effect
of
English
teaching
in primary schools.
3.2 Interesting Principle
About the interesting
principle, it mainly makes the fun for
students, that’s not only their
characteristics, but
also their
blood.
In general, in
the
English
classroom,
we should
appropriate
to add some
interesting games, that inevitably inspires the
sense
of
students’
participation,
and
enhances
their
motivation
to
learn.
For
example,
when
teaching
the
words
of
“face”,
“mouth”,
“ear”
and “nose”, the teacher can use the
games of blackboard drawing
graph
corresponding.
In
the
meanwhile,
the
English
teacher
also
can
ask the students to performance, so as
to enhances the taste of
learning.
3.3 Practical Principle
About the practical
principle, it is also a very important
content
in
modern
teaching.
Generally
speaking,
the
class hours
of
primary English class is
very short, and coupled with the gap of
time
is
too
long,
this
is
necessarily
bad
for
English
learning.
For
examples,
in
order
to
remedy
this
adverse
situation,
it
is
necessary
to develop the
contents of English teaching in primary schools.
In
the classroom, the teachers should
utilize multimedia to increase
the
rendering amounts of informations as much as
possible, and
第
4
页
opening up the
second class of English learning, such as English
essay and oral English competition
activities.
4. Analysis on the Role of Situational
Teaching Method
English Teaching in
Primary Schools
4.1 Creating an Atmosphere
of English Learning
If the teacher leaves
situation of the language out, simply
learning a language, that will be so
dull and boring matters.
Therefore, in
the process of English teaching in primary
schools,
the English teachers should
promote the teaching and learning
activities under the
English?
鄄
language
environment. Although we
lack such
conditions, but we can create an English
environment,
laying
of
conditions
for
students
to
learn
English,
in
order
to
let
the
students genuinely experienced the fun of learning
English in
specific
situations.
Of
course,
with
the
supporting
of
situational
teaching
method in English
teaching
in
primary
schools,
the
pupils
will have the good
atmosphere to learn English.
4.2
Consolidating the Knowledge of English
In geneal, the
situational teaching needs students to
experience situations adequately. About
the means of experience,
it includes
the auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory and
tactile,
that
fully
motivate
the
students’
brain,
mouth,
eyes,
ears
and
skin,
then
use these senses to apperceive the learning
objects. Further
第
5
页
more, in
the
process
of
situational
teaching,
because the
students
can use all kinds of senses to
apperceive the learning object as
far
as possible, so as to have access to a larger
amount of
informations, which
inevitably brings the deep impression to
students
4.3 Mobilize
Non?
鄄
intellectual factors
Intelligence
is
that
cognitive
capacities,
such
as
observation,
memory, etc.
Refers to the
non?
鄄
intelligent factors in
learning,
and related interest,
attention, and other similar factors. These
factors
are
indispensable
to
the
students
in
the
process
of
learning
a language to add.
In some families with two languages, their
children
not
only
learn
their
mother
tongue,
but
also
learn
another
language very
quickly. Except the intelligence, the underlying
factor is mainly the
non?
鄄
intellectual factors,
such as the
child’s interest, the
environment, family affection, and so on,
that influence the children very often.
For situational teaching,
it is the use
of the teaching method of integration of visual,
hearing and saying, fully advantage of
non?
鄄
intelligence factors
of
pupils,
guide
their
notice
and
interesting
to
the
learning
object,
thereby enabling
students to gain deeper and more complete
understanding of the learning objects,
as well as consolidate the
knowledge
perfectly.

5. The Application of Situational
Teaching Method in English
Teaching in
Primary Schools
5.1 Fully Use of Body
Language
Body language is a silent language,
which is a complement and
collaboration
to situational teaching. In the classroom,
teachers
can use
rich
acting
expressions
to
present
the
situations
vividly.
If
used
well,
it
will
make
students
more
receptive
to
teaching,
and
the
classroom teaching will achieve the good results
inevitably.
For example, it can shorten
the psychological distance between
teachers
and
students
through
the
teacher’
s
friendly
eyes
and
the
looking that looking
forward to. Moreover, the teachers within
natural
posture,
can
infect
the
students
and
provide
the
confidence
to
students.
Whatever
it
is,
as
for
the
understanding
of
students’
s learning in the
classroom, because the largely participation of
the
non?
鄄
intelligence
elements,
it
will
inevitably
accelerate
the
pace of learning, and
improve the efficiency of learning.
For
example, in the Unit 11 of the Teaching 3 in
primary
English
books,
when
makes
an
introduction
of
character,
the
English
teacher can be very
passionate about his eyes and said:
“Look，
my eyes are small”. By
pa
ssionate body language of teachers,
the
students will be infected. Because
the psychological distance is
shortened
between students and teachers, the students will
