Abstract

Nowadays, world activities exceed the limit of national borders, showing the development trend of multipolarity of international pattern and economic globalization. Under the influence of this era wave, the task of cultivating applied language talents is gradually clear. The cultivation of English proficiency is a very important area at the primary level, and it is also difficult for teachers to achieve the teaching objectives in the classroom through mere lectures. As teachers, if they want to cultivate students' excellent English thinking ability and adaptability, they must take their English communicative ability as the main goal. In this case, teachers should provide students with as many opportunities as possible through appropriate teaching methods, so that they can practice English and communicate with each other as much as possible in the classroom in order to improve their English thinking ability and practical application ability. Therefore, this paper will focus on the method of Situated Teaching to improve the effectiveness of English teaching by creating more opportunities for practice in the primary classroom, so as to cultivate students' English thinking and practical ability. The study includes the principles of using the scenario teaching method, the preparation before class, the analysis of teaching objectives and the methods to improve its efficiency. Thus, situational teaching can be made more applicable, reliable and effective in oral English teaching.
