The Influence of English Interdisciplinary Teaching to the Results of English Study in Primary School

Abstract

Nowadays, the demand for comprehensive talents is more and more urgent in recent society, while traditional subject teaching narrows the way to cultivate multiple talents. Separate subject teaching ignores the integrity of knowledge, making students learn scattered knowledge and not think from different points. One subject teaching, which means teachers only master the knowledge and skills in his or her subject field, is not conducive to the complete development of students. This study takes 500 fourth-grade primary school students in Linyi Dongxing Experimental School as the research objects, conducts a case study through a questionnaire method to explore the relevance between English interdisciplinary teaching and the results of English study as well as how the implementation of English interdisciplinary subject teaching influences English learning outcomes in the process of second language acquisition for fourth-grade primary school students. Descriptive analysis and Chi-square test are involved in this study to collect the data. The research shows that interdisciplinary English teaching in primary schools has a positive influence on English learning outcomes. Students improve their different English abilities during the implementation of interdisciplinary English teaching, such as abilities in reading, speaking, listening and writing as well as other abilities, such as painting, music, etc. This study is conducive to the development and implementation of English interdisciplinary teaching in primary school education and the improvement of students' core literacy and can provide other authors with some help and suggestions to promote the future development of this field.
