The Effect of Game Teaching Method on Chinese Students' Anxiety about English Learning

Abstract

Nowadays, many students feel anxiety and even have strong resistance to English learning. This anxiety not only makes them afraid of English learning, leads to a decline in academic performance, but also hurts their physical and mental health. In addition, this kind of learning anxiety also extends to students' interpersonal skills. Some scholars believe that two main factors cause anxiety: factors related to the learner's personality, such as the strength of the learner's self-esteem, the degree of psychological tolerance, the clarity of self-definition, etc.; factors related to the learner's outside world, such as, if a learner does not have a sense of identity with the surrounding learners, the degree of anxiety is often Very high; the form and content of communication between teachers and learners may induce learners' anxiety. In response to the above problems, this article is committed to widely collecting papers and monographs on the application of game teaching methods in English education at home and abroad through in-depth literature analysis, and carefully read the relevant research results. The purpose is to build a practical game teaching strategy to help Chinese students improve their self-confidence, so as to effectively reduce their anxiety about English learning. Based on this research goal, this article will carry out systematic writing to provide valuable reference for the innovation of English education.
