Constructivist approach to teaching English as a foreign language

Abstract

Approaches to teaching English have changed a lot in the 21st century. These changes have been determined by the skills that are required from the graduates of colleges or universities. They have changed the teachers‘ roles in the classroom. They are no longer the only knowledgeable authoritative instructors who transmit the information to the students. They have become facilitators in organising mutual experience sharing and constructing the meaning together.
