Literature review From the 19th century till now, many people have studied the situational teaching method in English classroom teaching.#160;They all agree that this teaching method is wonderful and useful in bringing students' enthusiasm into English study.#160;And they don't deny that it has some problems. Zhang Guanghua is a lecturer of Xi'an Railway Vocational and Technical Institute.#160;In his essay Situation Teaching Method and Higher Vocational English Teaching (2011), he expresses his view point about how should teachers use the situational teaching method in English classroom teaching.#160;He thinks that teachers must speak English in classes.#160;Using the internet and varied training aids is necessary.#160;Some English presentations or songs will also improve students' learning interest.#160;I think he is right.#160;Students like active and vivid circumstances rather than rigid ones.#160;If teachers could use situational teaching method, students will become the main characters in English learning. Sun Lianying is a teacher in Daqing Construction Secondary Technical School.#160;In his work Analysis on Situational Teaching Practice in Senior High Schools English Teaching (2010), he raises some issues which should be paid more attention to in the situational English teaching.#160;When setting the "situations", teachers should think about the students' practical knowledge level and the specific language environment.#160;He also thinks the situations should fit in with the textbook.#160;In my opinion, it's not necessary to make the situations the same as the textbook.#160;Without the limitation of textbook, students can learn more information freely. Xia Wang is a student in Hunan Normal University.#160;In his thesis The Research of the Situational Approach in Primary English Teaching (2010), he summarizes some problems of the situational teaching method in English classroom teaching.#160;One is that teachers always think this method expends too much time and they won't use it for long time.#160;The other is that the forms which teachers favor are not the same as the students'.#160;I think teachers should cater to the needs of students as far as possible.#160;Then, students will be interested in learning English. Learning a language must have a good language environment. Our mother tongue is not English, under the atmosphere of Chinese language to learn English. There is no English environment and teachers should deliberately create the English environment. Because the ultimate goal of English teaching is to cultivate students' ability to communicate in English. While this ability only through a lot of exposure to English, it makes students immerse in English communication atmosphere and forms quickly. Excellent English classroom can't measure by how much effective information teachers teach students, but also need to pay attention to the students#8217; ability to use information. Simple direct classroom teaching is boring and easy to make students feel depressed, produce mental fatigue and hinder students' internalization of language information. Therefore, the teacher needs to use situational teaching method to create a relaxed and lively English teaching situation, present the teaching contents in the situation, guide the student to the natural realization of English in the situation awareness, understanding, internalization, utilization, and can according to their aptitude develop students' learning potential, make its successful experience. To maximize practice English in the limited class time, you must highlight the characteristics of English in English class and eliminate mother tongue interference of Chinese language, set up a concept of English only with teachers and students in English class, not or less saying Chinese and take the English class as a place for communication in English. The English teaching process is regarded as the English teaching and learning activities, from the teachers organizing teaching activities to the students#8217; participation, the tool is English rather than Chinese.
