A Study On The Application Of Modern Educational Technology In English Situational Teaching In Secondary Vocational Schools

This study focuses on the application of modern educational technology in English situational teaching in secondary vocational schools. Current theoretical researches on situational teaching at home and abroad have been relatively mature. With the advent of educational information products, such as "MOOC", "micro class" and "flipped classroom", modern educational technology shows irreplaceable advantages. Many researchers have begun empirical researches about creating teaching situations through modern educational technology. For now, most studies are concerned with basic education, and few have focused on vocational education. Furthermore, studies on application of modern educational technology in English situational teaching in secondary vocational schools have yet to be deepened. This study seeks to explore the application of modern educational technology in situational teaching in secondary vocational schools. This not only can develop students’ English occupational ability and multiple intelligences, but also can upgrade teachers’ professional ability and teaching information technology, thus promoting teachers’ professional development. At the same time, this study can be a reference point for the teaching of other subjects in secondary vocational schools.This study was based on Constructivist theory, the theory of Multiple Intelligences and Blended Learning theory, and has mainly studied the impact of modern educational technology on students and instructors in English situational teaching in secondary vocational schools. Class one (the experimental class) and class two (the control class) in Grade 2 majoring in tourism service and management respectively in Zhuzhou Industrial Secondary Specialized School were selected as the subjects, the experimental class English teaching, based mainly on the net space, utilized modern educational technology to create English teaching situations, while the control class used traditional teaching strategies, and Miss Huang taught English for the experimental class and the control class. Then experimental data were obtained by means of questionnaires, interviews, etc. and analyzed with a statistic tool. At last, we used statistical theory analyzing data to draw conclusions.Our findings are as follows:The application of modern educational technology in English situational teaching in Secondary Vocational Schools can not only enhance the students’ interest in learning, improve students’ learning performance, and contribute to the overall development of students’ intelligence, it can also can promote teachers’ innovation of teaching ideology, improvement of teaching methods, and changes of evaluation methods, so as to improve their professional teaching ability and teaching level.Given the constraints of study area, experimental subjects, study time and conditions, this study has limitations in the number of samples and subjects involved. Subsequent studies will expand the time and the scope of the study, striving for greater breadth and depth to draw more scientific conclusions.
