随着心理学家对人类学习过程认知规律研究的不断深入,近年来,认知学习理论的一个重要分支——建构主义学习理论(Constructivism)在西方逐渐流行。笔者以高等教育出版社出版,刘乃银主编的《英语泛读教程》第一册第三单元Young William Shakespeare为例,结合自己的教学实践阐述了如何应用建构主义教学理论优化英语阅读课教学,以此培养学生的综合运用语言能力。 With the deepening of psychologists’ cognition of human learning, in recent years Constructivism, an important branch of cognitive learning theory, has become increasingly popular in the West. Taking Young William Shakespeare, the third unit of the first volume of English Extensive Reading Course, edited by Liu Naibin as an example, the author explains how to use the teaching theory of constructivism to optimize the teaching of English reading in light of his own teaching practice. Develop students’ comprehensive use of language skills.
