Abstract

In recent years,English has been more and more important in our daily life, and also become a compulsory course in junior school. However, there are still plenty of problems in English teaching. We found that the more difficult the contents become, the less interest students have. So researchers at home and abroad have investigated how to use games in English teaching to arouse students’ interest. However ,it is uneasy to stimulate students’ interest,which also needs imagination and ability.

According to children mental and physical feature, and the investigation of some specific classrooms, researchers find out that game plays a popular and important role in English teaching, but how to make full use of games in English classes is still under discussion. So the thesis proposes some strategies to make classes more effectively by using game teaching method.
