Meanwhile, English teaching in China is d

8、eveloping rapidly and extensively. However, the current situation is that the traditional teaching approach can not meet the demand of the economic and social development in China. Reform is urgently needed in English teaching. Nowadays role play teaching is initiated according to the new English cu

9、rriculum criteria, which was published recently by the government. It is required that students should be involved in the learning activities with a series of tasks to perform in real language environment.The thesis is designed to have a probe into role play and have a practical introduction to the

10、application and task design of role play. Role play provides students with a student-centered learning environment. Controls, threats, rewards and restrictions are not an effective means of stimulating learning, since no one is willing to learn reluctantly.By observing the state of students in class

11、, teachers can preliminarily judge the efficiency of roe play through the application of this method. The writer designs a series of role play plans for the class and puts them into teaching practice. From the result of teaching practice, we can draw a conclusion that role play can effectively stimu

12、late students learning interests.1.Research Background1.1 Problems Posing in Primary School Spoken EnglishThere is no doubt that English plays a quite important role in social life especially in the rapid development of globalization. However, the pupils are a special group. They are active and rest

13、less; they cannot easily focus on English learning unless they find it interesting. The traditional methods of English teaching mainly consist of repeating word memorization and grammar explanation, which definitely not be true of the pupils psychological, intellectual, and mental characteristics. T

14、he problems of the pupils learning English as follows: (1) Primary school students are so young that they cannot grasp the significance of English learning. In their eyes, interest is the best teacher. As a result, their learning is a process of natural acquisition. (2)Primary school students are no

15、t able to or too shy to speak English, which gradually results in that the pupils are not confident in English learning and “Dumb English” emerges. (3) Primary school students cant strive to develop their communication ability due to the lack of linguistic environment .Above of all, to solve these p

16、roblems is urgent and serious. There is no doubt that the role play is a good medicine.1.2 The Necessity of the Application of Role Play Role play has many advantages. It not only meets the requirements of English textbooks, but also Primary School English New Curriculum Standard.1.2.1 Requirements

17、of Curriculum Reform The compulsory Education Curriculum Standard of English Language propose the goals as follows: pupils keep their interest in English. They can use simple English to exchange simple information about individual, friends and family. They can play little short plays with the help o

18、f teachers. They can also understand, read, and describe some simple stories with the help of pictures. Therefore, it stresses pupilsinterests, their language and communication skills.1.2.2 The Significance of Application of Role Play Many experts at home and abroad hold that role play teaching is c

19、onducive to pupils English learning.（1）To Stimulate Learning Interest Acting different characters and exploring different kinds of temperaments, especially some funny characters, is fairly amusing for the pupils. Once they find the charm, they will be unknowingly fond of English.（2）To Improve Commun

20、ication of Role Play There are so many conversions in the process of role play teaching, teachers have many chances to develop their communication ability. As times goes by, pupils will not just speak only a few words or sentences. More important, they will be able to fluently express their ideas in

21、 English. （3）To Strengthen the Communication and Operation between Teachers and Students No one is an isolated land. We cant survive alone without others. In particular, the exchange and cooperation becomes more and more important in the modern information society. The pupils all together finish the

22、 tasks by exchanging and cooperation according to the requirements and theme of role play. They overcome obstacles, brainstorm, eliminate anxiety and tension, and deal with interpersonal relationship, which provides a good basis for cooperation in the future.2.The Basic Knowledge of Role Play This c

23、hapter mainly introduces role play, including its definition, classification, theoretical bases. Some problems in the process will also be presented. 2.1 The Definition of Role Play Van Ments (107-108) defined role-play as“to give students the opportunity to practice interaction with others in certa

24、in rolesThe situation is defined by producing as scenario and a set of role descriptionsThe scenario gives a background to the particular problem or environmentThe role description gives profiles of the people.”LiVingstone(6-7) pointed out that:“roleplay is a classroom activity that gives the studen

25、ts the opportunity to practice the language，the aspects of role behavior, and the actual roles he may need outside the classroom”2.2 The Classification of Role Play Different scholars have different classification standard for the type of role play. According to the number of roles in the role play,

26、 it can be divided into single angle role play and multi angle role plaIULy. William Littlewood(73) holds that as follows: 1 Role playing controlled through cues dialogues；2 role playing controlled through cues and information；3 role playing controlled through situation and goals；4 debate or discuss

27、ion role play；51arge scale simulation activities role play)；6 improvisation role play. The author agrees with Luo Yongqing(20-21). Four types as follows(1) Controlled role play. Language, action and behavior have been set up in advance, the pupils just play in the light of the established content .b

28、ut its not conducive to their personality and creativity.(2)Half controlled role play. Only one or some roles can be provided with all information, and then they often start the dialog with those roles that just have rough content. This type of role can help pupils ability to improvise and creativit

29、y, but those pupils who have rough or less information will suffer from tension and psychological pressure. For example, on the fourth grade English book, Module 9,Are you going to run sports day ? What about your classmates?Teaching process:First: preparation for the role play activity The teacher

30、prepares two cards including role A and role B. Role A has detailed messages.Second: situation introduction The teacher said: the sports day is coming, What are you going to do on sports day ?Third: role play Role ARole A: Tom, We are going to have a sports day this month.Role B: _Role A: Are you go

31、ing to run on sports day?Role B：_Role A: Are you going to school now?Role B: _Role A: Goodbye, Tom! Good luck!Role BRole A:_Role B: So great!Role A:_Role B: Yes, I am going to run the 100 metres.Role A:_Role B: No, I am going to run in the park.Role A:_Role B: Thank you! See you! .Fourth：feedback (3

32、) Halffree role play. Teachers decide the task and provide the pupils some target clues regardless of the lines of content and means of expression .It favors the pupils activeness, personality and communication ability. At the same time, they all together seek common solution with extremely great enthusiasm. For example, on the fourth grade English book, M
