Abstract

In order to improve the atmosphere of English teaching, this paper, from the perspective of educational psychology, through the design of English classroom architectural space, the design content is mainly for the space and seating layout, color and light design, the optimization of the acoustic environment, cultural decorations and interactions, the design of physical comfort, and the intelligent spatial design, as a way to improve the communication between students and teachers, to reduce the anxiety of learning, to isolate the interference of the external noise, and to improve learning concentration and learning motivation. The experimental results show that after the implementation of the proposed teacher space design program, students’ satisfaction with several aspects of the classroom, such as the rationality of the layout, color scheme and rationality, is above 85%. After implementing the virtual space speaking practice for 3 months, the students’ oral accuracy pass rate increased to 92.17%. Therefore, the proposed method of architectural space design for English classrooms can, not only help to create a favorable teaching atmosphere, but also significantly improve student satisfaction and oral proficiency, and help to improve the effectiveness of English teaching.
