My profound gratitude first goes to Ms. , my supervisor, for her constant guidance and encouragement in the process of my writing. She offered me considerable and constructive advice, practical and profound suggestions on the completion of my paper. Just under her careful and patient guidance, I begin to get a clear idea of the paper and fully frame it out. Without her support and help, the completion of the present thesis is impossible.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the teachers who have ever taught me throughout my college years, especially Mr. Qinghua Cheng, my advanced English course teacher. His profound knowledge of western cultures led me into the world of culture, and also inspired me to make efforts in English learning. I am also very grateful to all other teachers of the School of Foreign Languages who gave me direct or indirect help during my study in the college.
I am also grateful to my classmates and roommates for their encouragement, support, comments and wise advice.
Last, I wish to devote this paper to my parents for their everlasting dedication that they have shown to me since I was just a little child.
Abstract
It’s generally acknowledged that playing games is one of the most important parts of children’s life. The life of children without playing games is incomplete and not wonderful. Being aware of the importance of games for children, more and more educational institutions and schools have introduced game teaching method in their English classes for children. However, the practice and theories of game teaching method in China are still not mature and many problems remain unsolved.
From the perspective of Krashen’s second language acquisition theory, the paper aims to: arouse teachers’ awareness of the significance of game teaching in their teaching; find out the problems of game teaching existing in English training classes for children; correspondingly explore how English teachers for kids can properly apply games to their practice of English teaching to stimulate the interest of students and active the classroom atmosphere and make students learn English more cheerfully and effectively. Hopefully it can provide references for those English teachers for children.
The paper falls into five parts. The first part serves as an introduction. The second part aims at making a literature review on relevant theories of game-assistant teaching. The third part explores the current situations of game teaching in China. The fourth part probes into strategies of improving English game teaching for children. The final part naturally draws a conclusion about game teaching for children.
Key Words: game teaching, Krashen’s second language acquisition theory, English for children, teaching strategies
