The Application of Constructivist Learning Theory to English Reading Teaching of Senior High School

Abstract

With the vigorous implementation of education reform and the widespread implementation of quality education, the role of constructivist learning theory in English teaching, especially English reading teaching, has become increasingly prominent. This paper first learns about the current situation of high school English reading through investigation and research, and the overall low interest and learning motivation of students in English reading, and the low effectiveness of teachers' English reading teaching concepts and methods, and then puts forward the application strategies and methods of constructivist learning theory in high school English reading teaching: stimulating students' reading motivation through heuristic teaching, creating students' reading meaning background through contextual teaching, cultivating students' reading collaboration spirit through cooperative learning, and improving students' reading construction ability through inquiry learning.
