First of all, I want to be thankful to my supervisor, Associate Prof. Cao Xia, a responsible and approachable scholar. She gave me a lot of guidance every time when I lost the way in writing thesis. Without her instruction and patience, I could not have completed my thesis. Second, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my teacher, Mrs Kang, who helps me a lot when I work in the primary school this period. When I need time to complete the thesis, she allows me to stay at home for several days to think quietly. What these teachers have done will influence me not only present study but also future study.
Last my thanks would go to my mother for her loving considerations and great confidence in me all through these years. I also owe my sincere gratitude to my friends and my fellow classmates who gave me their help and time in listening to me and helping me work out my problems during the difficult course of the thesis.
 Abstract The ability to reflect on learning English is what college students should have, which is important to improve their language knowledge. The purpose of learning this kind of ability is that they can be more familiar with themselves in order to improve their English in a right way.
The paper is pided into four parts to interpret strategies for developing English learning reflection ability of college students. The first part is to have an overview about reflective learning and the theoretical review of Constructivism, including the concept, characteristics and significance of reflective learning and the instruction of Constructivism. Constructivism learning theory serves as a guiding principle to reflective learning. It emphasizes the concept that teachers are the leading factor while students are the main body. In the second part the paper analyzes the problems in college English study and gives the reasons for the lack of reflection. The third part is to offer the strategies about how to develop English learning reflection ability of college students, including what to be reflected in English learning and how to organize English reflective learning by teachers’ supports. The thesis finally draws a conclusion that facilitating reflection ability and training reflection methods for the specific students are helpful to strengthen self-driven and monitoring ability. College students' reflection ability needs to be trained and can be cultivated with teachers’ help. Making students conscious of reflection matters a lot.
Key Words: English reflective learning, Constructivism learning theory, the consciousness of reflection
