Abstract

The implementation of high-quality education in elementary schools has led to changes in English teaching methods. To engage students and ensure effective teaching, innovative strategies are necessary. The situational teaching method provides students with relevant learning experiences but is not used routinely in Chinese elementary schools. Instructors often choose inappropriate contexts, resulting in students being overwhelmed and ineffective English learning. This thesis critically examines the challenges of situational teaching in elementary school English instruction and proposes practical recommendations. These include incorporating modern technology and improving instructors' situational assessment skills to enhance the effectiveness of situational teaching in elementary schools.
