Abstract:
Constructivism,with critical assimilation of various teaching theories of the cognitive schools,has advanced a series of new ideas of learning and teaching,proposing that teaching is basically student-centered,cognition is the learner's active construction of knowledge based on his own existing schema,learning and cognition are fundamentally situated,and collaborative learning is of significant value to knowledge construction.The basic principles of constructival learning theory have positively influenced the teaching of foreign languages and particularly enlightened the reform of English teaching of the 7-year medical education program.According to the constructival approaches to teaching,it is of vital importance for English teachers of this program to adhere to student-centeredness,embed learning in virtual situations and establish definite learning objectives,so as to achieve the goal of the medical-elite-oriented program.
