9、thod Based on Constructivism in Junior Middle School1. IntroductionEnglish as a foreign language has existed for a long time in China. A growing number of people have paid much attention to English teaching due to the practice of the Opening and Reform Policy. Besides, English has been considered as
10、 one of the fundamental subjects in the curriculum of middle school since the early 1990s. However, it cannot be neglected that English teaching still has a long way to reach the national English level on account of Chinese traditional teaching method. Therefore, how to change the traditional “cramm
11、ing method of English teaching” and fostering students interests in learning English is the issue that all the countries encounter nowadays. Although there are many teaching approaches available, it is still difficult to find an effective and satisfactory approach in English teaching of junior middl
12、e school. As constructivism gets more concerns from the researchers in teaching, some constructivists have put forward a series of reforms which attempt to shape “student-centered” model in classroom teaching, trying to cultivate students motivation and initiation of learning, interaction with teach
13、ers. Furthermore, teachers serving as guiders can stimulate students interests and encourage them to have enough interaction both in and out of class. Junior middle school students are in the second important period of acquiring a foreign language. However, in Chinese traditional classroom, the stud
14、ents just listen to teachers, take notes and take in knowledge passively. There is little or no exchange of information and interactions with teachers. It is safe to conclude that this teaching method is not consistent with students psychological characteristics; it just makes the students acquire E
15、nglish passively rather than helps them have a desire to learn. As for the teacher, he or she only plays as a transmitter. So take the quality of English teaching into consideration, optimizing English teaching method in junior middle school is fairly necessary. Constructivism holds that teaching sh
16、ould be built based on what learners have already known and teachers should guide them to different kinds of activities. This idea has fully illustrated the importance of interactive activities which can help students to stimulate their interest and consolidate the knowledge they have learnt. The traditional teaching method not only depresses the a
