ABSTRACT

Activity-based teaching method rose in the late 19th century and the early 20th century, and has attracted the attention of domestic scholars in recent years. Activity teaching method is a new teaching method. Generally speaking, teachers provide students with appropriate teaching situations according to teaching requirement. According to the physical and mental development degrees and characteristics of students’ development, students are allowed to participate in the classroom teaching methods or processes of learning knowledge by their own abilities, such as reading, discussion, games, etc. The characteristic of this teaching method is that students participate in activities, and acquire knowledge through cooperative activities under the command of the brain, such as hearing, vision, spatial perception and tactile perception.
With the development of economic globalization, English has become a world language. Therefore, more and more people attach importance to English learning. In English learning, listening and speaking is the important part of English, and play a very important role in the whole English teaching. Nowadays, English teaching in senior high schools still centers on “taking exams”. English teachers pay less attention to audio-visual education. In the process of teaching, teachers tend to adopt the traditional single-mode teaching method with monotonous teaching methods and monotonous learning interests of students.
This study is based on the second language learning theory. By using the method of combining theory with practice, this paper compares and analyses the advantages and disadvantages of the two teaching methods by applying the traditional teaching method and the activity teaching method to the high school English audio-visual-oral class. Based on this, and combining the advantages and characteristics of the activity teaching method, this paper suggests that the activity teaching method is more suitable for the high school English audio-visual-oral class, and puts forward some constructive suggestions.
