Application of Experiential Learning in College Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

Experiential learning is a new way of learning. In recent years, the research on experiential learning has been deepening, which has had a certain impact on the traditional teacher-centered teaching mode. As for subject education, language is a subject with strong situational application, and its educational model has also changed under the impact. The student-centered learning concept changes the original teaching. Compared with the traditional teaching mode, experiential learning has its unique innovation and many advantages but also has its limitations. In terms of application, languages are essential tools for cross-cultural interchange, so learning a foreign language is of great importance. However, the process of trying to master it has many challenges both for students and teachers. The integration of experiential learning into foreign language teaching has changed the role of teachers in the previous education system to some extent and also put forward new requirements for students. The starting point of this paper is based on the research status of experiential learning and the current situation of college foreign language teaching and analyzes the application of experiential learning in college foreign language teaching. This paper also introduces the advantages of experiential learning in foreign language teaching compared with the traditional mode, which are creating a language environment, stimulating students' learning initiative, and improving students' language application ability.
