The Role and Application of Situational Teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language – A Case Study of Primary Oral English Class

Abstract

The law of language learning has a theoretical basis. Language learning is a process of active learning, not of passive acceptance. Situational teaching is the extension and development of constructivist teaching. The correct use of situational teaching can stimulate students’ interest, facilitate a harmonious relationship between teachers and students, as well as promote the cultivation of other skills among students, so as to improve the teaching quality of oral Chinese teaching as a foreign language and effectively complete the teaching task. However, there are some issues that should be emphasized when using the situational teaching method, such as how to create situations effectively, the problems that teachers should pay attention to when creating situations, and the principles of creating situations.
