现代构建主义理论认为“English can’t be taught,it must be learned”。它强调语言活动不是教师向学生传授知识,而是学生根据外在信息通过自已背景知识建构自已知识的过程。英语课堂教学应充分体现学生的自主特性,它要求学生在老师的引导下,自主确立语言学习目标,自我选择语言学习方法,自我监控语言学习过程,自我评价语言学习结果,实现自主性 Modern constructivist theory holds that “English can not be taught, it must be learned”. It emphasizes that language activities are not the process in which teachers impart knowledge to students but rather that students construct their own knowledge based on external context through their own background knowledge. English classroom teaching should fully reflect the autonomous characteristics of students. It requires students to independently establish their own language learning objectives, self-selected language learning methods, self-monitoring of language learning process, self-evaluation of language learning results and self-determination under the guidance of teachers.
