本文介绍了英语教学中存在的问题和英语教育运用情景教学的重要性，进而分析了情景教学在新课标英语教学中的具体应用，希望英语教育者能够合理的运用情景教学，提高学生的兴趣，进而提高英语教学质量。

Students in this kind teaching situation would hardly find any interest and they would quickly be tired to the class, then they would be absent-mindedness, sleepy and dazed. The teacher repeated speaking but the students didn’t have any interest to listen ,even they listened carefully they couldn’t keep this situation too long time not only from physical but also from mental, so it is obvious that teaching in this situation would hardly be effective.1.3 The importance of situational teaching in new curriculum English teachingS ituational teaching is very important, the significance in enhancing the class more interesting and change the traditional teaching mode two parties(Batstone,2002). the parties, to enhance the teaching interests, situational teaching can enrich the teaching way, to enhance students' interest in English, and can be discussed, taking the topic of interest, creating situational teaching model, can be effective to let the students combined with actual situation around, to practice English conversation can effectively enhance students' interests, strengthening thestudent's ability to understand English, and improve the students' ability to use English;In the party and change the traditional teaching mode, situational teaching can be used to take teachers as the main body into now take the student as the main body, letting the student feel oneself is the master of the classroom, can effectively enhance the enthusiasm of students learning English, can effectively improve the quality of English teaching(Genesee & Johna, 2001)2.Literature review2.1 General objectives and teaching strategies in new curriculum English teachingThe current round of reforms to the English curriculum aim to establish a curriculum that: develops students’comprehensive language competence, motivates students, is relevant to their life experiences and cognitive level ,promoting task-based teaching methods, involves students in experiential, practical, participatory and cooperative learning, and developing students’positive attitudes, thinking skills, practical abilities, cultural awareness and autonomy through the language learning process(2008).The curriculum objectives are holistic and flexible, the fundamental aim of the new English curriculum is to develop students’comprehensive language competence, this aim is broken down into five general objectives, these objectives are then divided into nine ability levels with descriptors provided for each level.(Zhong Qiquan,2003) The five general objectives are: language skills, language knowledge, attitudes to learning, learning strategies and cultural awareness.2.2 Situational teaching’s application in new curriculum English teaching2.2.1 Set up the problem situation in English teaching.According to the actual situation, set up a problem situation, stimulate students' interest, let the students through situational problems to explore, to strengthen and teacher's classroom communication, and letting the students think of the problem, contacting the actual life, also can enhance the students' ability to think, letting the students can actively participate in the classroom communication, effectively improving the efficiency of classroom learning and improving the students' ability to use English(Tang Nan, 2014).2.2.2 Design the interesting situation in English teachingTeachers can be the introduction of multimedia technology in English teaching, it can effectively attract students' interests, with the increase of student interest, they will actively into English learning, which can effectively enhance students' grasp of the English language ability, so as to improve the efficiency of learning English.For example, in the study of world culture exchange lesson, statue of liberty to the Forbidden City, the pyramids, the mountain landmarks such as the picture is introduced into the multimedia, through teacher vivid explanation and pictures to the stimulation of students, can better improve students yearning for culturalcommunication, effectively improve the students' enthusiasm, then can let the students discuss the topic in English.2.2.3Establish the application situation in English teaching.In view of the situation of students difficult to flexible use of English, teachers should according to the actual situation, establish practical teaching scene, in the class hall of English study, can let the students play the role of curriculum in, lets the student positive communication, can effectively strengthen the students' ability to master, at the same time, through long time practice, can also enhance students' communication ability(Nelson&Murphy, 1992).Therefore, in English Language classroom teaching with the model of the actual situation, can effectively enhance students' ability in understanding and the practical application of English language ability, is an effective means of head interface to improve students' English level.3.Analysis (according to the lesson plan I have enclosed)I would analysis the situational teaching in new curriculum English teaching from the next three aspects: the question situation, interesting situation and the application situation according to the lesson plan I have enclosed.Question situation is an important part in new curriculum English teaching, it can guide the students to think the related questions, at the same time it can draw the students attention to the class to the knowledge points, after deeply thought about the knowledge point I think students mastered the knowledge point better. In my lesson plan, I used the question especially in the second part ----- while-studying, when I showed some sentences which used the present continuous time, in order to guide them to the present continuous time I asked the students “what common point does the sentences have in expressed the action or situation?”, “ were they are expressed in simple present or simple past tense?’’, “ can you guess what tense the sentences used ?” and so on. From these questions I quickly guided the students to the objective-----the present continuous time, and the students are also easily entered the objective studying.Interesting situation is also essential for good teachers to teach in their class, there is on doubt that interesting situation can quickly attract the students to the class and let the students studying become easy and relax, as a proverb saying “ interest is the best teacher”, to use the interesting situation let students to study easily is a good way. In my lesson plan, I used the interesting situation especially in the first part----- pre-studying, I used many interesting pictures and related videos to attract the students to my class quickly, because at the beginning of a class many students are still excited and hardly concentrate their mind in the class, but interesting pictures and videos can quickly attract the students to my class and divert the exciting from outside to the class, so I think interesting situation is essential to a successful class.Application situation is also significant in English teaching and it is also emphasized by the new curriculum English teaching, application can combined the English teaching and the English using, and if we can use the application to our studying that is a better choice. In my lesson plan I used the application especially in the last part-----post-studying, I let students try to use the tense we studied in this class by looking the pictures in text and finished the dialogue, and let students enhance their lesson by listening to the music and finish the exercise, I think these all make my class more interesting and guide the to students used the English to their real life.4.Conclusion4.1 major finding4.1.1 The traditional English teaching in training student's ability to use English still has a lot of limitationAs we all know, the traditional English teaching pays more attention to recite and write ability intend to have a high score, at the same time it means the traditional English teaching has a lot of disadvantages in students other ability like speaking, reading as well as listening. In our college there are many students they could have a high score in examination, but when they meet the foreigners they couldn’t communicate with them well, even they are afraid of communicating with others in English , this is still a major problem in current Chinese college students, and it is also well illustrated that the traditional English teaching still has lots of limitation, couldn’t let students properly use the English as an language to communicate and as a tool to use in our daily life as a language.4.1.2 Situational teaching can make English teaching more relaxed, more efficientFrom the above analysis we can find that situational teaching in the new curriculum English teaching pays a significant role, we usually used the three kinds: question situation, interesting situation and application situation. Situational teaching has many advantages in students’ studying, it can make class more interesting and vivid , can easily attract the students’ attention, let students’studying become more easily, decrease the students burden in studying English, diverting the students attitude from passive to initiative all make students studying English well, and let the English studying is more practical, improving the students’ ability to use English as a language. At the same time , situational teaching let teachers more relax in class, make teaching becomes more and more interesting and this also can be helpful to improve the relationship between the teachers and the students.4.2 Suggestions4.2.1 Teachers should try to use situational teaching to create a relaxed, democratic and harmonious learning environmentPositive attitudes are an essential condition for effective learning, negative attitudes can not only reduce the effectiveness of study but also adversely affect students’long-term development. In particular, teachers should try to use situational teaching to create a relaxed, democratic andharmonious learning environment: respecting each individual student, actively encouraging everyone to try and safeguarding their self-esteem and enthusiasm , integrate students’ English education with their emotional education (Lo&Hyland, 2007). Develop cooperative spirit by organizing learning activities that let students work together, help each other and experience group recognition and achievement, and paying particular attention to introverted students or weak learners, trying to give them as many language practice opportunities as possible.4.2.2Teachers should lay the groundwork for students’ all-round and lifelong development in their teaching.Teaching and learning should meet the diverse needs of all students, ensuring the healthy development of their mind and body. In particular the teacher should pay attention to the following: encouraging students to use English bravely, taking a lenient attitude towards mistakes they make during the learning process, providing students with ample opportunities to collaborate with others and to become autonomous learners and creating conditions that allow students to explore questions they are personally interested in and solve problems by themselves.BibliographyBatstone, R.
