The Affinity Between Constructivist Teaching Theory and English Language Teaching Reform

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.

Teaching and Learning in the Language Classroom

Teaching and learning in the language classroom is aimed primarily at language teachers with some experience, and though it could be very useful for teachers to explore on their own, its main use is likely to be as a core textbook on in-service training courses. Throughout, it encourages teachers to reflect on issues in language teaching and learning on the basis of their own experience. Each chapter begins with an “introductory task” which focuses thought on the area to be considered and which in most cases invites teachers to identify aspects of their current ideas and practice on the issue. Similarly, the penultimate section of each chapter is a considerable list of “discussion topics and projects”, many of which are based on examples of teaching materials. These activities are likely to be most profitable when carried out in groups, and the most obvious way in which to exploit them is on a formal training course.

Teaching English as an International Language: the Chilean context

The author argues that when teaching English as an international language, educators should recognize the value of including topics that deal with the local culture, support the selection of a methodology that is appropriate to the local educational context, and recognize the strengths of bilingual teachers of English. Based on the results of a questionnaire given to Chilean teachers of English, the author maintains that in Chile there is growing support for such practices and attitudes. Nowadays many countries where English is a required subject are confronting similar questions regarding the use of the local culture in ELT.
