12、 1 IntroductionWith the development of the society, the education of China has met a series of challenges in the 21st century. Many teachers in our daily English teaching still use, consciously or unconsciously, the traditional “Spoon-feeding Teaching” method, which makes the class boring and studen
13、ts passively accept knowledge. This teaching method doesnt fit the pupils characteristics of their mentality and age. Therefore, it is essential that teachers should create the “mother-tongue” environment for the students in English teaching. Teachers must try to establish various kinds of environme
14、nt and let students experience them and understand different contexts and information expressed in language atmosphere. The Situational Teaching Method is such an innovation in English teaching field and this advanced method of teaching is very popular in Chinese students English teaching nowadays.
15、The Situational Teaching Method （the STM）means that in the teaching process, teachers purposefully introduce or create some certain vivid concrete scenes to arouse students certain emotional experience, thus it will help students understand the teaching materials and promote their ability of learnin
16、g language in situational environment.As for the Situational Teaching Method (the STM) in the primary school, there are many advantages. It is well known that pupils are not good at understanding the perceptual knowledge but adept in keeping concrete knowledge in mind. According to this, it can be f
17、ound that the Situational Teaching Method (the STM) is quite suitable to pupils especially in the lower grades to learn a foreign language. Meanwhile, creating scenes is the essence of the Situational Teaching Method (the STM) and pupils are interested in scenes. Therefore, the Situational Teaching
18、Method (the STM) is a good way to create the real language environment for students. It can be found that pupils can benefit a lot from the Situational Teaching Method (the STM).This thesis introduces the theoretical basis of the Situational Teaching Method (the STM) at first. Then it mainly focuses
19、 on the application of the Situational Teaching Method (the STM) in the primary school English class.Chapter 2 The Theory of the Situational Teaching Method2.1 The DefinitionThe Situational Teaching Method（the STM）means that in the teaching process, in order to help the students understand the textb
20、ook, the teacher establishes a lively or concrete situation or scene with the emotional color by the body of image to draw the students attention to make them learn actively and happily. The basic requirement of the STM is to fully motivate students sensory organs to apperceive the objects to be lea
21、rned through seeing, hearing even touching them.As for the STM in the primary school English class, it can be comprehended that in the English teaching process, an English teacher should be an actor or a leader, who establishes English teaching scenes through language descriptions, body gestures, ma
22、terial object demonstrations, music exaggerations, games, activities and so on to stimulate students study initiative and enthusiasm. The relationship between teacher and students is friendly and harmonious.Generally, the STM refers to the teaching context, learning situation, student-teacher relati
23、onship, classroom design and other factors that contribute to the total of psychological and physical environment.2.2 The CharacteristicsThe STM has four main characteristics. They are as follows:2.2.1 The Reality of ImageIn order to make the students feel true and real, it requires that the image m
24、ust completely be the same as the outside of the real object, but also the same with the spirit. It is not the copy of an object, not as taking a photograph. It is by a simplified figure, which is the same structure with the corresponding object. Then they can join in the situation step by step.2.2.
25、2 The Reality of Emotion It is well known that emotion joins in our learning and study, it requires teachers to find real emotion and genuine purpose to fully arouse students study interest. If emotion joins in class well, it will be the highest boundary of teaching and studying. This can be achieve
26、d easily through using the pattern of the STM.2.2.3 Containing Theories AbundantlyAbundantly containing theories means that abstract theory comes up with images, this can help students to understand the cognition efficiently. It is clear that in the process of learning English, the teachers leading
27、role is to build up a bridge between the language and cognition, while this effective bridge is the language environment. The good way to create the language environment is undoubtedly the STM. With this method, students can build up a bridge between the abstract cognition and the concrete things by
28、 themselves, so that they can understand the abstract cognition more easily.2.2.4 Broaden SituationIn the process of teaching English, the STM does not mean illustrating something and then setting something up mechanically, it is often treated as a whole. It is regarded as the situation in which is
29、wide and broad; and this also refers to that there is enough room for students to exert their imagination. As a result, the students abilities of dependent learning and solving problems will be developed. It is often required that teachers should show something in front of the students and then make
30、 them feel the “direct impression”; the situation can stir the students emotion and then it becomes the pusher of their needs. Using the STM makes the role of students changed, from passive to active. The role of teachers also has changed from pure teaching to the guide of the students. The roles of
31、 students and teachers can be fully played with this method. It is clear that the STM requires that the situation should make the students feel easy and enjoyable, flat and peaceful, and fresh from all aspects. And by such kind of teaching method, better teaching effect can be achieved.The essential
32、 characteristic of the STM is to push the students into learning more efficiently and to arouse the students interest and emotion in learning.2.3 The Principles of the DesignIt is well known that English is used as a tool for communication and the teaching of English must mainly focus on its practic
33、al communicative function. Therefore, the STM which emphasizes on students basic abilities of listening and speaking has become more and more important in the English teaching process. The STM can make the content changed from abstract to specific.As Bloomfield thinks “the successful foreign languag
34、e classroom instruction should establish a great many situations in the lesson and then let students have opportunities to use the language materials that have already been learnt.” （Bloomfield,1933:59）As for most of Chinese pupils who often lacks the atmosphere of learning the English language, it
35、is of great necessity to create various scenes for their English learning. Scenes should be set up according to the content, the topics and the pupils characteristics by the English teacher. If the creation of the scenes is reasonable, vivid, lively and accurate, the students will be able to activat
36、e their thinking and then they can be able to understand the messages more easily. As a result, it will stimulate the students thirst for learning knowledge. Such vivid and reasonable scenes and the colorful images can not only help the students to put knowledge into vivid scenes, but also can enhan
37、ce their interest in learning English. Therefore, in order to create a reasonable and vivid scene, the English teachers should follow the following principles in the situational setting of daily classroom teaching. They are as follows:2.3.1 AuthenticityIt is well known that context is of great impor
38、tance in the English teaching system. Therefore, in order to create a reasonable and vivid context, the English teacher should create the situation according to the day-to-day knowledge, as well as the authenticity of migration start.The STM can provide adequate situations and examples by purposeful
39、ly designing some circumstances and specific scenes of authenticity and associate authenticity. For example, when an English teacher teaches the word “apple”, he can make use of the real objectan apple to teach pupils how to read and speak. Meanwhile, he can write the word “apple” on the blackboard
40、and read it again to teach students. By doing like this, pupils can use this word proficiently when they see an apple. These materials can be found easily in our daily life, so English teachers can make full use of these common materials to create scenes.2.3.2 ClarityA reasonable situational design
41、must be explicit. It is well known that the class time is limited, so the teacher should try his/her best to make the teaching content as easy as possible for the students to understand. A good situational design should include different factors of the context, that is, it can be divided into eight
42、parts: scene, character, idea, style, phonetics and intonation, grammar and vocabulary and language aids.2.3.3 Benefit In the process of teaching English in primary school, it is in great need of an English teacher to create the most colorful and practical situations for the pupils. It is beneficial
43、 to enrich the teaching content and to arouse the students learning interest. As a result, it will encourage the students great curiosity about knowledge and develop their abilities of finding-and-solving problems. At the same time, they will be initiative and creative. Therefore, the pupils can und
44、erstand the English learning materials more and more easily than before, so that they can make the books and teaching materials in English become “their own English,” which means they can truly grasp the ability of using English. With the STM, the students comprehensive abilities turned out to be de
45、veloped.2.3.4 CommunicationThe essence of a foreign language is the communicative function, which embodies a persons comprehensive ability of using the language. In the process of English teaching, in order to make the pupils use English correctly and fluently, the teacher usually arrange some commu
46、nication activities for them. The communication activities include four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing, which is a two-way speech communication process. By this method, the pupils communicative ability can be developed. 2.3.5 Non-verbal MethodIn the process of English teaching, lang
47、uage is mainly expressed through sound and text, which is as common cultural communication backbone. However, language is not the only choice for the English teacher in the actual process of communicating with the pupils. There are many other means, one of which is the non-verbal means, such as body
48、 postures, facial expressions and actions accompanied with the language and so on. The proper use of non-verbal means not only reflects correct response of the pupils to the situation, but also it is a part of the teaching strategy. For example, in the interpretation of distinction between “go to sleep” and “be asleep”, the English teach
