Constructivism Teaching Theory Fits for Foreign Language Teaching as Well

建构主义教学理论是否适合外语教学争论的焦点主要存在两个方面:一是建构主义的认识主观性和外语教学内容的客观存在的矛盾,二是建构主义倡导的"发现式"学习和外语教学靠实践操练习得之争。基于此,从建构主义的思想内涵以及外语教学的特点分析入手,得出建构主义教学理论也适合外语教学,并在此基础之上进行建构主义教学理论指导下的外语教学模式设计尝试。

The debate on whether constructlvism teaching theory fits for foreign language teaching mainly focuses on two aspects： one is the contradiction between cognitive subjectivities by the constructivism and objective contents in foreign language teaching; the other is straggle of ＂probe learning style＂ advocated by eonstructivism and language practice needed in foreign language teaching. Based on the analysis of constructivlsm teaching theory connotation and the characteristics of the foreign language teaching, this article concludes that constructivism teaching theory fits for foreign language teaching as well, and further foreign language teaching mode de- sign is attempted under the guidance of constructivism teaching theory.
