Abstract English teaching in primary school has long overemphasized the explaining and imparting of grammar and vocabulary but neglects the development of students’ abilities of using language, resulting in the loss of students’ interest in learning English。 Situational teaching utilizes the well-designed situations to organize teaching, contributing to activating students’ interest and eventually helping cultivate their abilities of using language, which is consistent with the concept of new curriculum standards。 On the basis of constructivism theory, second acquisition theory and the summary of related researches of situational teaching and with the combination of current situation of primary school English teaching, this thesis focuses on exploring the strategies to make the best use of situational teaching。92806

摘要小学英语教学长期以来过分重视语法和词汇知识的讲解与传授，忽视学生语言运用能力的培养，也导致学生失去英语学习的兴趣。情境教学在精心创设的情境中展开教学，有助于激发学生的学习兴趣，并有利于学生在学习过程中发展综合语言运用能力，这与新课程标准的理念也是相一致的。本文以建构主义理论、二语习得理论等为理论依据，综述了情境教学的相关研究成果，在结合小学英语教学现状的基础上，着重探讨有效有益地应用情境教学的策略。
