1.Introduction

AsacompulsorycourseforjuniorandprimarystudentsinChina,Englishisbecomingmoreandmoreimportant.SomepeoplesaythatEnglishisoneofthethreekeysof21stcentury(withothertwoarecomputerandcar).ButtheproblemishowtolearnEnglishefficiently.LearnersathomeusuallyhavelittletimetolistentoorspeakEnglish.ExceptthattheycanspeakEnglishintheirEnglishclassesfor40or45minutesonly,theyhavenochancetospeakEnglish,nochancetolistentoEnglish,evennochancetofeeltheexistenceofEnglish.

Butasweallknow,accordingtothescientifictheory,ifwedon’tusewhatwehavelearned,wewillforgetthemquickly,especiallylanguage.Thenlearningwillbeinterrupted,andtheinitiativewillbeweakened.So,asteachers,themostimportantthingtodoistosolvetheproblem,bycreatingalanguagecircumstance,stimulatingtheirinitiativeinlearningEnglish.

Iwilldiscussabouthowtocreatealanguagecircumstanceforthestudents.

Asweallknow,circumstanceisveryimportantininfluencingpeople’slifeandpersonality.Andalso,itisimportantinlearninglanguage.Manyscholars,expertsandteachersholdthesameview.Welearnourmotherlanguagemostlybyfeeling,imitatingandusing.First,wefeeltheexistenceofthemotherlanguage,andthenimitatethepronunciationandintonationfromourparentsorotherpeople.Weimitatehowtousedifferentsentencesindifferentsituations.Theultimategoaloflanguageteachingistoenablethestudentstousetheforeignlanguageinworkorlifewhennecessary.Soafterimitatingwelearned,thenwebegintouseitinreallife.Wecommunicatewithothersinourmothertongue;weuseittoexpressourselves,tounderstandothers.Thus,wecontrolthelanguage.Itisobviousthat,languagecircumstanceisveryimportant.Learningsecondlanguageisnotexceptive.Sosomepeoplethinkthattolearnforeignlanguagemustgoabroad.Stayattheforeigncountryforoneorhalf-year,youcansurespeaktheirlanguage.Ofcoursethat’sright.Butpractically,wefinditunfeasible,atleastcannotbecomecommon.Becausethereisonlyafewpeoplehavethechancetogoaboard.Sothemostimportantthingtodoistocreatealanguagecircumstanceforthelearnersathome.

Inchina,mostoftheforeignlanguagelearnersarestudentsinprimaryormiddleschool.Therefore,asteachersweshouldcreateagoodEnglishlanguagecircumstanceforthestudents.Itbecomesthemostimportantthing.

Inlightofmanyresearchworksandalotofbooksanddocuments,therearemanyscholarsandteacherswhohavestartedtoworkoveronthesubject,amongwhichsomeacquiredachievements.

ThecreationofEnglishlanguagecircumstanceisveryusefultothelearnersofsecondlanguage.Thoughthesecondlanguageisdifferentwiththeirmothertongues,theywillcertainlylearniteasilyiftheycanread,listentoorspeakitmore.Andyet,thewaytocreatingalanguagecircumstanceisvariousbutnotstatic.

2.TheCreationofClassCircumstance

Aswejustsaid,theonlytimeforthestudentstocontactEnglishisthe40or45minutesintheirEnglishclass.Sotheclassroommanagementisveryimportant.Theefficiencyofaclasswilldecidethestudents’Englishlevelsomewayorother.Consequently,agoodteacherwilltryhis/herbesttoimprovetheefficiencyofhis/herclass.Then,howtocreatethecircumstanceintheclass?ManypeoplethinkthebestwaytolearnEnglishistospeakEnglishasoftenasonecan.Butwedon''''thavesuchEnglishcircumstance,whatshallwedo?SomelistentoEnglishradioseverydaytoimprovetheirlisteningability.AndsometimestheywatchAmericanfilmsthattheyareinterestedin.Intheclass,wealsotryourbesttogivethemagoodcircumstancetoimprovetheirspeakingandlisteningtoEnglish,sothattheycancommunicatefluently.

2.1Communicativefunctionsoflanguage.

“Onepossiblesolutiontobridgethegapbetweenclassroomlanguageteachingandreallifelanguageuseistheadoptionofcommunicativelanguageteaching,whichhasinrecentyearsbecomeafashionabletermtocoveravarietyofdevelopmentsinsyllabusdesignandinthemethodologyofforeignlanguageteaching.”2Thegoalofteachingistodevelopstudents’communicativecompetence,whichincludesboththeknowledgeaboutthelanguageandtheknowledgeabouthowtousethelanguageappropriatelyincommunicativesituations.

“Communicativecompetenceincludesfouraspects:

2)Knowingwhethersomethingisunderstandabletohumanbeings

3)Knowingwhethersomethingisintinewithsocialnorms

4)Knowingwhetherornotsomethingisinfactdone:Dopeopleactuallyuselanguagethisway?”3

Also,whileteachingnewwords,newphrases,newsentencesornewtexts,wecansetthesceneforthem,sotheycaneasytounderstandandremember.

Example:

ThenItakeouttwoormoretomatoes.

T:HowmanytomatoesdoIhave?(WritedowntomatoesontheblackboardandRed“es”)

Finally,Iaskthemtomakeupasimilardialoguebyusingthethingstheytake,supposetheyaresellersorbuyers.Becauseoftherealobjects,theycanbeeasytounderstand.

Whileteachingsomeverbswecanusebodylanguagetohelptheirunderstanding.

Forexample,whenweteach“run”,wecanpretendtorun,andaskthestudents:“WhatamIdoing?”“Youarerunning.”

Andalso,whenweteach“jump”,wecanjumpandask:“WhatamIdoing?”“Youarejumping.”“Yes,youareright.Canyoujump?”“Yes.”
