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)Knowingwhethersomethingisunderstandabletohumanbeings
3)Knowingwhethersomethingisintinewithsocialnorms

Example:

ThenItakeouttwoormoretomatoes.

Finally,Iaskthemtomakeupasimilardialoguebyusingthethingstheytake,supposetheyaresellersorbuyers.Becauseoftherealobjects,theycanbeeasytounderstand.

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