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.

2.1Communicativefunctionsoflanguage.

“Theultimategoaloflanguageteachingistoenablethestudentstousetheforeignlanguageinworkorlifewhennecessary.”1Thepurposeoflearningalanguageistocommunicatewithothers.Itistosaythemainfunctionofalanguageistocommunicate.Soweshouldalwaysputthisfunctionintheimportantposition.Andinourteachingweshouldletourstudentsknowhowtousethelanguagetoexpresstheirownfeelingsandtounderstandothers.That’simportant.

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

“Communicativecompetenceincludesfouraspects:

2)Knowingwhethersomethingisunderstandabletohumanbeings

3)Knowingwhethersomethingisintinewithsocialnorms

4)Knowingwhetherornotsomethingisinfactdone:Dopeopleactuallyuselanguagethisway?”3

Finally,Iaskthemtomakeupasimilardialoguebyusingthethingstheytake,supposetheyaresellersorbuyers.Becauseoftherealobjects,theycanbeeasytounderstand.

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