Abstract

In this paper, the “situational teaching method” is a teaching method teachers apply to achieve the teaching goal and accomplish the teaching task by setting the situation. Theoretically, this method can help to arouse the enthusiasm of teachers and students to participate in class teaching, stimulate and promote students’ interest in learning, and accomplish teaching efficiency effectively. This paper reports on a study that examined the implementation of situational teaching method in a primary English class. Based on questionnaire survey and data analysis of experimental class and control class, the author attempts to explore the effectiveness of situational teaching method on the improvement of pupils’ interest in English learning, taking Grade six students of Weihua Primary School as the research object. The effectiveness of the situational teaching method is verified by the results. It is hoped that the results will contribute to the practice and reform of English teaching in primary schools.
