I. Introduction
English curriculum standard points out: “The mission of English courses in basic education stage is to inspire and cultivate the students’ interest in English learning, form good learning habits and effective learning strategies, and build self-confidence” (Ministry of Education, par. 3). And the Requirement of Primary School English Teaching (Implementation) specifies that primary school English teaching should focus on activities according to the characteristics of the study of pupils (Ministry of Education, par. 10). Teachers need to make full use of the teaching resources and teaching activities to stimulate learners’ interest to learn English. In cultivating the interest of pupils, teachers often apply the English game teaching method into English class.
Marc Prensky, the famous American game designer and educational expert points out that the revolution of learning in 21st century lies in a wonderful condition of learning in entertainment and entertaining in learning as well (324). The appearance of English Game Teaching Method, not only provided new approaches to improve quality of teaching but also accord with the new curriculum reformation which advocates the varieties and flexibilities of teaching methods, has poured fresh vitality into English classes. According to the physiological and psychological characteristics of the learners in the lower grades, whose nature is curious, active, larky, playful, the application of games in English teaching can stimulate learners’ interest, pull their attention, boost the positivity of involving classes and promote the sublimation of emotion and mood. As a result, classes with games can give pupils an opportunity to learn breezily, enjoyably, and firmly while playing, entertaining and involving. So, it’s of great importance to combine games with English teaching, which plays an important role in optimizing teaching effects for teachers and contributing to the effective learning for pupils.
