Abstract
“Situation requires language, language should be taught from the
situation.” The situational approach can stimulate classroom atmosphere,
inspire students' interest in learning, exercise their language skills, and develop
their thinking and spatial imagination. In elementary school English teaching,
situational teaching penetrates into every aspect of teaching, and it can get a
multiplier effect. This article takes two instructional designs as examples to
explore the application of the situational approach. Through inquiry, it can be
concluded that the situational approach is an effective way to improve pupils'
English learning ability. It not only improves classroom teaching but also
motivates students. The interest in learning increases the joy of learning
English. In English teaching in primary schools, teachers should pay attention
to the cultivation of students' learning interests, strengthen the guidance of
students' learning methods, and create situations based on the age
characteristics of students.
