Description
Summary:The Situational Teaching Method is an engaging and interactive approach to English instruction. As the role of English as a global lingua franca becomes increasingly significant, high school listening and speaking courses are receiving greater attention. However, the pressures of examinations and the uneven development of language skills require urgent intervention. Teachers and students, confronted with the immense demands of college entrance examinations, often resort to a teaching model that prioritizes test preparation and high scores. This focus on exam-oriented education, coupled with a lack of daily communication contexts, has resulted in an uneven development of high school students' English listening and speaking abilities. Consequently, students frequently find themselves capable of understanding English content but unable to express their thoughts effectively, thereby failing to achieve the intended purpose of communication. This paper advocates for the implementation of the Situational Teaching Method to create vivid and authentic contexts that promote students' core English literacy. It explores the enhancement of high school English listening and speaking skills through this method, using wine culture as a case study, to improve teaching effectiveness, adapt to educational reforms, and advance high school English education.
