The Use of the Situational Method in the Teaching of English Language

The Use of the Situational Method in the Teaching of English Language Li Bo (Class0003, Foreign Language Department, Hubei Normal University, Huangshi, Hubei 435002) Abstract: In this paper, in order to stimulate students’ interests and enthusiasm to learn English, to make the class atmosphere lively and to make the teacher achieve effective teaching in the classroom language teaching, I develop the argument: to apply the Situational Method in the English Language Teaching, and to argue for it by means of analyzing its theory, rules and its application. In order to achieve these purposes, I relate theory to the practical teaching according to the mode: theory first, examples late. For example, to let students know what the Situation Method is, I first give them the definition of it. Next, I ask them to watch the video of classroom language teaching in which the teacher uses the method to teach English language, to ask them to have better understanding of the method based on their classroom observation.
