Constructivism is the latest teaching and learning theory in Western countries,and it is based on the premise that cognition (learning) is the result of 'mental construction'. It lays emphasis on the social-cultural aspect of learning. Initially we give a brief account of its learning and teaching theory, and then we discuss its pedagogical implications for English language teaching in combination with its basic principle. It is obvious that constructivist-teaching theory has great implications for China's English language teaching reform and the cultivation of creative English personnel.
