摘要隨著中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)與社會(huì)的發(fā)展，英語在人們的日常生活中顯得越來越重要。相繼而來的各個(gè)階段所采用的英語教學(xué)方法也在受到各方面的關(guān)注，情境教學(xué)法也隨著中國(guó)教育體制的改革而出現(xiàn)，并在小學(xué)英語的教學(xué)中取得一定的成就，在中國(guó)的小學(xué)英語教學(xué)中，情境教學(xué)法是一種值得參考和采用的方法。情境來源于社會(huì)生活實(shí)踐活動(dòng)，是人們現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的一種產(chǎn)物。它強(qiáng)調(diào)運(yùn)動(dòng)過程和生活情境的一體化，注重學(xué)生對(duì)活動(dòng)的認(rèn)識(shí)，注重學(xué)生在活動(dòng)過程中能力的發(fā)展，從各方面激發(fā)學(xué)生自主學(xué)習(xí)的興趣。它能通過在教學(xué)中產(chǎn)生生動(dòng)形象的情景來幫助學(xué)生理解教材，并使學(xué)生的心理機(jī)能能得到發(fā)展的教學(xué)方法。情境教學(xué)法的核心在于激發(fā)學(xué)生的情感。關(guān)鍵詞:英語；情景教學(xué)法；小學(xué)英語課堂；應(yīng)用TableofContentsAbstract

Asaresult,thestudents’interestwillbeenhancedanddevelopedintheprocessoflearningEnglish.3.2CultivatingPupils’PracticalAbilitiesofUsingEnglishItiswellknownthatlanguageisatoolofcommunicationinourdailylifeandthepurposeoflearningalanguageistomakefulluseofittoachievethepracticalgoalcommunicatingwithothers.ItistruethatthebestwayoflearningalanguageistobeplacedinthelanguageenvironmentandthisisparticularlyprominentintheEnglishteaching.Therefore,itcanbefoundthattheSTMplaysanimportantpartintheEnglishteaching,especiallyintheprocessofprimaryschoolEnglishteaching.AsfortheprimaryschoolEnglishteaching,teachersusuallytaketheSTMtomaketheteachingcontentplacedinacertainlanguageenvironment.Accordingtothespecificcontentoftheteachingmaterials,theEnglishteachersoftencreatesomefeasibleandappropriatescenesforthepupils.Underthecircumstances,pupilscannaturallyplaytheirownroleundertheteacher’sguidanceandtheycancommunicatewitheachotherinEnglishproficiently.Thatis,theSTMcanhelpstudentstocultivatetheirpracticalabilitiesofusingEnglish.Forexample,intheunitsof“Weareinthezoo”ofthetextbookofGradeFive,theEnglishteacherscandesigntheclassroomasazooatfirstandthenencouragesomepupilstoactastheanimalsbasedonthewordsanddialoguesintheseunits.Accordingtothis,thepupilscanlearninthedesignedsituationanduseinthecontexttounderstandthedialoguesmoreeasily.Meanwhile,thestudentscanhaveexperienceofthescenespersonally.Inthisway,thestudents’interestcanbearousedandtheirpracticalabilitiesofusingEnglishcanbedeveloped.3.3MasteringKnowledgeItcanbefoundthatifanEnglishteacherteachesthekeypointsanddifficultpointsoftheEnglishteachingmaterialsdirectlytothepupils,theywillfeelitdrabandboringforthem.Thepupilsmaynotbeabletounderstandthem,butitwillbeeasierforthemtounderstandwhenthoseareputinacertainlanguagecontext.Therefore,intheprocessofprimaryschoolEnglishteaching,teachersusuallyusetheSTMtohelppupilstomasterknowledgeandcomprehendthedifficulties.Forexample,inthethirdunit“fruits”inthetextbookofGradeThree,theEnglishteachercanteachthepupilslikethis:Firstly,showsomefruitsonthedesktothepupils,suchasanapple,anorange,apearandabananaandsoon.Secondly,tellthemthethingsonthedeskareall“fruits”.Atlast,teachthemhowtoreadandspelltheword“fruit”.3.4FittingPupils’PhysiologicalandPsychologicalCharacteristicsPurity,curiosityandlivelinessarepupils’characteristics.Meanwhile,pupilslikeplayinggamesandtheirattentiontoclassroomisveryshortandlimited.Accordingtothis,itrequiresthatteachersshouldcreatethesceneswithpropermeansinpropertimeintheprocessofclassroomteachingforthepupils.ItiswellknownthattheaimoftheSTMistodrawstudents’attention,avoidthedegreeoftheirbrainfatigue,arousetheirinterestinlearningEnglishandimprovethelearningefficiency.Therefore,intheprocessofprimaryschoolEnglishteaching,theapplicationoftheSTMcanfitpupils’physiologicalandpsychologicalcharacteristics.Asaresult,agoodandeffectiveEnglishteachingcanbeachieved.3.5ReducingtheDifficultyofTeachingItiswellknownthataccordingtopupils’characteristicsoftheirageandmentality,theyaretooyoungtounderstandtheabstractcognition.Therefore,intheprocessofprimaryschoolEnglishteaching,inordertomakepupilsunderstandtheteachingmaterialsmoreeasily,EnglishteachersusuallytaketheSTM,whichcouldcreatevariousvividscenesforthestudentstoremembertheteachingmaterialsbytheir“firstanddirectimpression”.Withthismethod,thestudentscanunderstandtheabstractcognitionfromtheconcreteandvividscenesorthecolorfulimages.Asaresult,itwouldreducethedifficultyofteachingtofacilitateproblem-solving.3.6ReducingtheDegreeofPupils’FatigueIntheprocessofprimaryschoolEnglishteaching,teacherscouldusetheSTMtocreatedifferentkindsofscenestoarousethepupils’interestinlearningEnglish,suchastheEnglishsongs,games,activitiesandstories,etc.Thesecolorfulscenescannotonlystimulatethepupils’curiosityaboutlearningEnglish,butalsocanreducethedegreeofpupils’fatigue.WiththeSTM,pupilscanmaintainagoodmomentuminlearningEnglish.Chapter4TheApplicationoftheSTMinthePrimarySchoolEnglishClass4.1TheApplicationApproachesTheapplicationapproachesoftheSTMintheprimaryschoolEnglishclassincludeseightmethods.Theyareasfollows：4.1.1TheAppreciationofMusicItcanbefoundthatmusicplaysanimportantroleintheprocessofprimaryschoolEnglishteaching.Musiccannotonlycultivatepupils’interestinlearningEnglish,butalsocanactivatetheatmosphereoftheclassroom.ItisanimportantandcommonmeansofEnglishteaching.IntheEnglishclass,teacherscanusetheappreciationofmusictoexaggeratethescenestoactivatetheatmosphereofthepupils’Englishlearning.TheappreciationofmusiccanhelptheEnglishteacherstocreatearelaxinganddelightfulatmosphereforthepupils.Atthesametime,itcannotonlyreducethedegreeoffatigueandnervousness,butalsocanarousethepupils’interestinlearningEnglish.Asaresult,thepupilscanmaintainagoodmomentuminlearningEnglish.4.1.2TheUseofTeachingAidsThecommonteachingaidsrefertotheblackboard,wall-map,therealsubstanceandmodel,etc.Inordertomotivatethepupils’interestinlearningEnglishandtomakethemunderstandtheteachingmaterialsmoreeasily,Englishteachersusuallyusetheteachingaidstopromotethesituationalt
