Abstract: Many students just take English as a subject and try to get high marks in examinations. English teaching in primary school has been using the traditional teaching method, which focused too much attention on grammar and vocabulary and it could not stimulate students' interest and initiative in English learning. This paper tentatively explores how to promote primary English teaching through situational approach. The paper first introduces the concept and development of situational approach, and analyses the advantages of situational approach. And finally some solutions are proposed to carry out the situational approach with teaching cases. The aim is to bring “situations” into class so as to stimulate students’ interest in English learning, improve their performance in tests and finally make the primary English class better.

Key words: situational approach; primary school English; application study 

摘要：长期以来，大多数学生只把英语当作一门考试科目来学，并希望能在考试中取得高分。在小学英语课堂教学实践中，一直沿用传统的英语教学方法，以讲解词汇和语法为主，根本调动不了学生的英语学习兴趣和积极性。本文试图分析如何通过情境教学法促进小学英语教学。文章首先介绍了情境教学法的概念和发展过程，并分析了情境教学法的优势。然后通过案例分析，提出了四种运用情境教学法的方法。提出在小学英语课堂教学中，通过把“情境”引入课堂中增加学生学习英语的兴趣以及提高学生的英语学习成绩，从而使小学英语课堂更加完善。
