10、nges in the 21st century. The Examination-Oriented Education is out of date, because it heavily affects the interest of students in English learning. So many kinds of teaching methods start to be used in English teaching. The Situational Teaching Method becomes a popular foreign language teaching me

11、thod gradually. The Situational Teaching Method refers to a kind of social environment which conveys the information in English and focuses on the scenes or context. Any language and communication activity can come true in some special scene. The pupils thinking is visualized, so teachers can provid

12、e a large quantity of audio-visual digital resources to create the atmosphere of English listening and speaking. It is well-known that the Situational Teaching Method is based on the theory of applied linguistics and uses some achievements of the structural linguistics. The scenes influence the sens

13、e organs of learners and make pupils have the motivation to communicate with others. Psychologists point out students learning motivation and their thirst for knowledge cannot appear naturally, while they depend on the teaching scenes which teachers set up. So teachers must usually set up kinds of s

14、cenes for students consciously. As for most of Chinese pupils who lacks English language learning atmosphere, it is necessary to create scenes for their English learning. English is used as a tool for communication, so it requires teachers to provide chances to speak through kinds of setting-up scen

15、es. The Situational Teaching Method emphasizes on the abilities of students listening and speaking. Nowadays, people are overwhelmed by English, for example, even pupils begin to study English at an early age. Therefore, the teachers play an important role in English teaching and learning. Then how

16、to choose a method is quite important during different periods. The educationists advocate a new theory that there are many teaching methods but no specific teaching method. The Situational Teaching Method is used in the elementary English teaching. To make it simple, the purpose of elementary Engli

17、sh learning is “listening and speaking first, while reading and writing second”. In the English teaching, the educational model that is used by teachers in 40% elementary schools is the Situational Teaching Method, 80% teachers reply in the elementary schools is the oral sentence pattern drill, whil

18、e only 15.43% teachers answer in the elementary school is “the written test-like exercises(Mei Deming, 2004.).From this survey, the Situational Teaching Method is suitable for pupils. How to arouse students interests and develop their abilities is a problem needing more care. Teachers can instruct s

19、tudents through imitating the real scenes in order to make students use what they have learnt in their everyday lives. It can be found that pupils can benefit a lot from the Situational Teaching Method. I. The Appearance of the Situational Teaching MethodEverything has the process of origin and deve

20、lopment. Therefore, the Situational Teaching Method also develops step by step. Under the background of Chinas reform, the Situational Teaching Method is adopted by teachers gradually.A. The Origin of the Situational Teaching MethodThe Situational Teaching Method just follows some rules of linguisti

21、cs. Situational language teaching is originally called Oral Approach, which is developed by British applied linguists from the 1930s to 1960s(Shu Dingfang,1999.), and it has provided guidance to many well-known EFL/ESL textbooks and courses, including New Concept English written by Alexander, which

22、is still used in China and known by almost every Chinese English learner. In fact, most books on business English are compiled according to this method too. The theory of learning underlying Situation Language Teaching Method is behaviorism, addressing more the processes, than the conditions of lear

23、ning. Palmer and Hornby are the main advocator of the Situational Teaching Method(Shu Dingfang，1999.). A good scene will create a harmonious atmosphere between teachers and students, and thus achieves a satisfactory effect. The Situational Teaching Method also has solid theoretical grounds in physio

24、logy, psychology, and linguistics.B. The Definition of the Situational Teaching MethodWhat is the Situational Teaching Method? It means creating and using many kinds of scenes to make students immerse themselves in the oral English environment which is abundant, natural or half-natural. Moreover, th

25、e method makes students have a direct contact with English-spoken countries culture. Therefore, they can receive massive language materials in the natural or artificial scenes to express the social, objective and subjective cognitions with the similar sentences so that their innermost feelings can b

26、e effectively expressed. And only under this kind of environment can the relation of the cognitions and the emotion be established. And only by this kind of means can the sentence structures be consolidated. It contains realistic scene, recollection scene, association scene, scenes transformation an

27、d scenes overlapping.In overseas, the Situational Teaching Method has already obtained success in English teaching.In other words, the Situational Teaching Method can be comprehended that in the English teaching process teachers establish teaching scenes through language descriptions, material objec

28、t demonstrations, music exaggerations and so on to stimulate students study initiative and enthusiasm. The Situational Teaching Method brings students to the specific active environment which enables students to imagine emotionally and makes students have a superiority exciting center, thus the stud

29、ents can obtain the best attention, which stimulates students interest and guides the reassignment in study, or the exercises enthusiasm to enhance the quality and effect of English class. Students cognition has the situational connection. The specific scene influences not only students to understan

30、d significance of the activities to students but also the possibility of the activities; meanwhile it also affects students consciousness as well as the method of studying, and it makes the knowledge in students mind deeply.II.The Advantages of the Situational Teaching Method As for the Situational

31、Teaching Method in the elementary school, there are many advantages. In fact, creating scenes is the essence of Situational Teaching Method, and pupils are interested in scenes. Therefore, creating scenes is the best advantage of the Situational Teaching Method which can stimulate students interest.

32、A. Stimulus to Pupils Interest The Situational Teaching Method can motivate students to learn English. Stimulating pupils interest in learning is one of the important functions and purposes of the Situational Teaching Method. Raising students interest is a premise for teaching. There is a saying: In

33、terest is the best teacher. It can make people concentrate on their work, and have enthusiasm, pleasant emotional experience for study. Teachers should be brimming with enthusiasm to teaching activities with superb teaching art to create an attractive teaching scene. Teaching scenes play an importan

34、t role in inspiring pupils interest. How to inspire? Teachers can create and utilize language scenes. For example, in teaching sentences: I think so. / I agree. /I dont agree. Teachers can combine the knowledge with what students are interested in. In details, teachers may take the famous stars, sin

35、gers. For example:T：I think Xiao Yanzi is very beautifu1She has big eyesDo you think so?S1：No. I dont agreeI dont think she is beautifu1But I think she is lovelyT：Do you think she is a good actor?S l：Yes ，I agreeT：Do you think Liu Dehua is a good singer?S2：Yes, I agreeAnd I think he is also a good a

36、ctor.B. Concentration on Pupils Attention Scenes can draw students attention. Foreign language teaching can make students consistently remain attention. To make students focus on the study, teachers can not rely on orders and requirements, but depend on the scientific and artistic of teaching activi

37、ties. Naturally students can be attracted by the contents. In teaching colors, teachers can use the classroom and various items of clothing, shoes, and hats. For example:T：What color is the chalk (blackboard，door，teachers desk etc.)?S：Its white(black，blue, orange etc)T：What color is his/her coat(swe

38、ater，pencil-box，bag etc.)?S：Its yellow (red，green，grey，white etc.)T：What color are the flowers (your desks，his trousers, her shoes etc.)?S：They are red(yellow，black，brown etc)On one hand students can concentrate on learning in such a scene. On the other hand students could understand natural and aut

39、hentic meanings, and the English teaching procedure may become very vivid. C. Enlivening the Atmosphere of ClassThe situational teaching can make the classroom be in a good atmosphere. Creating a good atmosphere in the classroom is a key to motivate students and improve teaching quality. By using im

40、aginative scenes in classroom teaching, the atmosphere can be reached climax. For example, through simulating call, asking for directions, shopping, buying tickets, and students can play a variety of roles, and repeat to use various words and sentences. The Situational Teaching Method provides a lot

41、 of opportunities to speak, so it can increase students interest in learning and activate classroom atmosphere.D. Increasing the Delight of Learning EnglishThe Situational Teaching Method can arouse students interests in class, because classroom teaching needs a lot of repeated actions. Simple dupli

42、cation is easy to make students tired and fatigue, so teachers must change the ways to enhance interesting with similar contents. The scene in the classroom should be suitable for students age, psychological characteristics. For instance, teachers use pictures to create a scene of visual demonstrati

43、on scene. and the focus must be on the proportion and color of the important people or event, but the background should not be conspicuous. The line drawings make students focus on essential content and enhance the teaching interesting. For instance, when teachers teach “upstairs and downstairs”, th

44、ey can draw some pictures on the blackboard. When teachers teach the word “orange”, they can bring several oranges into class but not one. By such kind of means, the class can become more interesting. On such kind of occasion, students can freely talk with others in English. Eventually, teaching in

45、classroom has to be closely coordination with the scenes, and students should be put into the certain situation. Moreover, students should have a close contact with the thing that a certain situation involved. III. The Feasibility of the Situational Teaching MethodWhy does it have feasibility? Becau

46、se pupils are too young to understand the text. While the Situational Teaching Method can provide many scenes in which pupils are interested. Scenes can be set up according to the contents, the topics and the pupils characteristics. So it is flexible. A. A Series of Scenes There are many English tea

47、ching methods. Comparing with other methods, the Situational Teaching Method has its flexibility and feasibility. The Silent Way neglects teachers functions. It requires teachers to keep silent blindly, so it will be inevitable to influence teachers explanation of the textbook, even though it can ma

48、ke students bring their subjective initiative into play. The Direct Method is emphasized the spoken English too much and to deal with the problem of the foreign language teaching partly. But the Situational Teaching Method pays attention to cultivate the basic language skills in the English teaching on the basis of scenes. The Situational Teaching Method can make the contents changed from abstract to specific. B. Under the Conditions of the MultimediaMultimedia can bring both visual functi
