Abstract
Along with the challenge against the traditional classroom teaching mode, teacher-centered mode of teaching is generally replaced by the student-centered mode of teaching. With the development of the theories of Constructivism and humanism, people pay more attention to the students’ autonomy learning. In English curriculum, it is importance of improving the teaching effort and stimulating students’ learning interests. The student-centered teaching model puts students’ needs and their learning on the first place and shows great concerns for the cultivation of students’ communicative competence. This thesis is based on Constructivism, focusing on the role of teachers in the interactive activities in the student-centered class. This thesis is also concerned with the ways of carrying out the student-centered approach and changing ideas from teacher-centered to student-centered.
Key words: student-centered teaching; teacher-centered teaching; Constructivism; Humanism; teaching approach
