Chapter One Introduction
1.1 The proposition of the question
Under the background of a new round of curriculum reform, “English Curriculum Standards (2011 Edition)”emphasizes that we should take the students’ learning interest, life experience and cognitive level into consideration and make language learning process become the process of developing the students’ positive emotional attitude, proactive thinking, bold practice, cross cultural awareness and the ability of autonomic learning. That is in line with the visual, entertaining, and interactive features of the situation teaching method. In English teaching, more and more teachers are involved in the exploration and application of situational teaching. However, there are some problems in the practical application of English situational teaching in primary schools. The creation of situations tends to be a mere formality and is not closely combined with the teaching content, so the situation turns to be a dispensable, false and meaningless invalid situation. In the “situational teaching experiment and research”, Li Jilin (a Chinese teacher of Nantong, Jiangsu Province) pointed out that situation teaching aims at promoting children’s overall harmonious development. Sue Home Linsky also said intellectual education starts from the place where there is theoretical thinking, and the vivid and intuitive sense is not the ultimate goal but the means. This paper aims to analyze several situation cases in the teaching practice and then propose some real and effective strategies for the improvement of the real situation creation in English teaching.
