Abstract

According to Constructivism Learning Theory, people learn language by collaboration with others in certain situations. It attaches importance to the roles of four principal factors, namely “situation”, “collaboration”, “dialogue” and “meaning construction” in learning. By watching English films, students’ enthusiasm and initiative can be motivated. Students can build their knowledge networks with “English thinking mode”. In classroom teaching, teachers can carry out various class activities by using English films as materials to help students build English cultural cognition and enhance their intercultural communication competence.
