Neither the quality of teaching can be guaranteed, nor are students＇ thinking ability and innovation developed. To change this situation, many educators have done a lot of research and exploration from both theoretical and practical aspects, of which constructivist theory is one of main results. Constructivist theory emphasizes that leaming is a process of knowledge acquisition. Knowledge can not only get from teachers, but also requires learners to learn from others＇ help in some particular context, with the necessary leaming materials, and through a way of meaning construction.

This paper seeks to find some solution to the decline in the teaching of English literature in a Chinese context. Problems in a Chinese class are first analyzed. And then from a constructivist perspective that knowledge can be best mastered when students find their personal involvement with what they are learning, a proposal is put forward that a critical attitude and response to the literary texts are important. To introduce critical activities into class, one has first to help students overcome their 'theory anxieties' brought forth by the advanced development of critical theories. Ecocriticism as an ethical critical approach to literature does not hold a big corpus of new and academic terms, and thus is a most desirable substitute, which also cares for the current issues of ecological calamities. Sample students' reactions to ecocriticism in a Chinese class are offered.展开更多
