内容摘要

我国《小学生英语课程标准》中明确指出：

激发学生的英语学习兴趣是小学阶段英语教学的首要目标。

如何激发学生兴趣和转变传统枯燥的教学模式？

本文根据小学英语课堂的现状，以游戏教学作为研究基础，结合心理学，教学法和二语习得中的相关观点指出游戏教学在小学英语教学中具有必要性。

各种理论观点证明了游戏教学具有科学的理论基础，同时笔者通过采访调查，统计数字和亲身经历的具体事实论证得出游戏教学不仅有利于提高学生英语学习兴趣，建立平等的师生关系，还有利于学生听说能力的提高和良好性格的塑造。

最后，笔者得出结论认为在小学英语课堂中运用游戏教学是必要的。

这一研究可以使广大师生对游戏教学的作用有一个正确的认识，尝试运用游戏教学，让学生在轻松愉快的氛围下参与课堂活动，促进课程的发展，提高教学质量。

同时，笔者还对游戏的选择性提出了建议。
