The Application of Situational Teaching Method in Junior School English Teaching

Abstract

In the process of teaching, teachers always unconsciously create a variety of situations for students. Most Chinese students lack English learning environment, so it is necessary for teachers to use situational teaching method. However, in the actual junior school English teaching process, most teachers use the traditional jug-and-mug teaching method, which leads teachers to ignore the dominant position of students' learning, students' learning interest and motivation to a certain extent. The author analyzes the current situation of junior school English, and finds that situational teaching method can effectively solve these problems. This paper aims at exploring how to create effective situations in junior school English teaching, and take the Constructivism Theory and the Second Language Acquisition Theory as the theoretical fulcrum, using questionnaire survey and interview. Despite there are some the shortcomings of this study, the author still hopes that this study will be helpful to the further study of situational teaching method.
