Abstract

With the acceleration of globalization, the importance of English as an international language has become increasingly prominent. Traditional English teaching methods ignore the actual situation and contextual factors of language use. This article aims to explore the application of context theory in English teaching and the concrete construction and practice of this teaching model. Firstly, this article constructs an English Language Teaching (ELT) model based on context theory, and defines the teaching objectives, ideas, implementation steps and key elements. Under this model, the setting of teaching objectives is no longer limited to imparting language knowledge, but pays more attention to cultivating students' practical language application ability and cross-cultural communication ability. By creating real language situations and designing various teaching activities, such as role-playing, group discussion, situational dialogue, etc., the context theory is deeply integrated into the teaching content, methods and strategies. Students' language expression in the simulated context is natural and fluent, and their language use and communicative competence can be significantly improved. Finally, this article summarizes the value of context theory in English teaching and emphasizes its key role in improving teaching quality and effect. It is an important direction of English teaching reform in the future.
