A Study Of Interactive Vocabulary Teaching On The Basis Of Situational Theory In Senior High Schools

It is common that a large number of students are learning passively in classrooms nowadays,although this kind of teaching has been opposed strongly by related education authorities and the media for many years.It is still seen in many English classrooms about vocabulary.In order to temporarily benefit from the limited class time,teachers dominate the English class about what to learn,how many words and phrases to be learned and how to learn them.This way of teaching neglects the teaching scene and overlooks the interactions between teachers and students,and that between students,making the English vocabulary-based classroom boring.So this study appeals to all the teachers to promote the learning ability of the students in the situation,and meanwhile improve their ability to communicate to arouse the interest of English study.At the same time,the students are expected to output what they have learned naturally in the situation and have the satisfaction of learning knowledge.Taking the current situation of vocabulary-based classroom in English education as a starting point,this study,based on the research of the developments of vocabulary teaching in the past centuries at home and abroad,will use situational theory,input hypothesis,interactive hypothesis,output hypothesis and hierarchical processing theory to guide the classroom vocabulary teaching,and to pursue the answers to the following 2 questions.The first one is what kind of influence interactive high school English classroom has on students’ learning performance.The other is what kind of role the interactive high school English vocabulary teaching plays in motivating students to participate in the classroom activities.This study adopts the questionnaire method.A one-semester comparative experiment was conducted among 68 high school students.In the process,these 68 students received different teaching method about the vocabulary;however,the learning aims and tasks were the same.The purpose of pre-test and post-test is to find out whether interactive English vocabulary teaching based on situational theory has an impact on students’ academic performance.In order to find out the influence of interactive high school English vocabulary teaching on students’ participation in the classroom,the author uses questionnaire method before and after the experiment.The accurate data of two classes were collected and analyzed by SPSS17.0.(independent T test).The data of the two questionnaires were in the process of ration analysis at the same time.The analysis of these statistical data shows that there are obvious differences between the experimental class and the control class in terms of vocabulary teaching before and after the experiment.The study has found that the interactive English vocabulary teaching of the situational theory has a great and positive impact on learning performance.After the experiment,the students in Class 7 can learn words and expressions voluntarily through resources at hand and by means of scientific learning strategies.In the interactive class under the guidance of this theory,students have a higher level of participation and become the subjects of the class.According to the findings of this study,the author suggests that:First,we should not only understand the characteristics of the student groups but also understand the individual characteristics of the students.In this way,we can create effective situations and conduct effective interactive vocabulary teaching.Second,teachers should maximize the use of proper situations to allow students to be in the scene and promote students’ exploration of the environment and knowledge.Third,teachers should fully mobilize students’ internal learning desires and their own learning styles,so that students can become familiar with vocabulary through shallow coding,constantly enhancing the understanding of vocabulary as a deep coding method,thus learning vocabulary from stereo methods more than pronunciation,spelling,and meaning.In this study,it is likely that the limitation of time and tiredness of conventional class will affect the accuracy of the experiment,which therefore will be avoided in the future research.
