With the rapid development of informatization and globalization,nowadays English is one of an indispensable language.Since 2001,primary school English curriculum has gradually expanded from urban primary schools to rural primary schools and English education in rural primary schools has lasted 15 years.However,English teaching methods in rural primary schools are relatively backward and students' English learning initiative is not high and their English competence is poor.Therefore,exploring an English teaching method in rural primary schools and improving the level of English of students in rural primary school is highly necessary.Game teaching method is a method that teachers provide students with appropriate games according to the teaching requirements and the characteristics of students' physical and mental development and students learn knowledge by games.The game teaching method integrates games into the teaching processes to enhance the students' initiative and interest in English and raise the teaching quality in class.The research explores the effectiveness of applying game teaching in English class in the rural primary school.It probes into three questions:(1)Is game teaching more effective than traditional teaching method in the rural primary school?(2)Can game teaching improve students' English competence in the rural primary school?(3)Can game teaching stimulate students' learning initiative and increase their interest in English the rural primary school?The research is conducted in terms of questionnaire and teaching experiment to verify the efficiency of game teaching instruction in the rural primary school.The teaching experiment is carried out in two classes from the rural Primary School with a period of one semester.Game teaching is used in the experimental class,while the control class still employs the traditional teaching model.After analyzing the results of the pre test,the post test and the questionnaire before and after the experiment,the author finds that:(1)Game teaching is more effective than the traditional teaching method in the rural primary school.(2)Game teaching can improve students' English competence in the rural primary school.(3)Game teaching can stimulate students' learning initiative and increase their interest in English in the rural primary school.The thesis has provided the research example of game teaching in the rural primary school,which is an important significance.It is meaningful and profound for English teaching in the rural Primary School as well,meanwhile there are still some implication of using the game teaching method in rural primary school and exists some imperfection in the study,such as the experiment only implemented in two classes in one school and the time of experiment was only allocated one semester,which are limited for the study so that suggestions for further study should be put forward.
