ABSTRACT

Discovery teaching method is a method used by teachers in class. It has changed the traditional single and boring way of listening to classes to a certain extent, allowing students to actively participate in learning. Take the problem as the center and stimulate students' independent inquiry ability by creating situations. Therefore, in order to improve the English achievement and ability of non-English majors, this paper studies the application of discovery teaching method in English class. This paper mainly uses the methods of experimental investigation and comparison to compare the learning situation of non-English majors in the experimental group and the control group. The experimental data shows that the number of excellent students in the experimental group under the discovery teaching method accounts for 40%, while the proportion of excellent students in the control group is 28%, indicating that the discovery teaching method can strengthen the teaching effect.
