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.53841

摘要现如今传统教学面临挑战,以教师为中心的教学模式取代了以学生为中心的教学模式。随着建构主义和人本主义理论的发展,人们越来越重视学生的自主学习。提高初中英语教学效果，激发并保持学生学习兴趣尤为关键。以学生为中心的教学模式将学生的需要和兴趣放在第一位置，注重培养学生的语言交际能力。本文以建构主义为理论依据,重点探讨了以"学生为中心"的课堂交互活动中教师的中介作用以及实现中介作用的具体方法,对新的教育理念下教师的角色转变进行了阐释.

1. Introduction

Traditionally, in English class, teacher is the center and students follow teachers’ mind. Basically, it is teacher-centered, which is contrast to the view of student-centered. Actually, the center of teaching activities doesn’t focus on teaching but learning. With the development of society, learning has become necessary for human to survive. Education is not only the basic condition of employment, but the necessary for reemployment. Therefore, in the modern educational system, student is the center of learning consciously. 源/自:751:`论~文'网www.751com.cn

Before a hundred year, different approaches to language teaching have been applied along with a great deal of controversial comment. From these comments, a great view can be put up. Whether good or bad a teaching approach cannot be judge absolutely. Every method has its special purpose and achieved the intended result. The Grammar-Translation Method, the Community Language Teaching, the Natural approach, and the Communicative language teaching have all contributed potentially useful ideas to English Teaching (Davies,2000:195 ).  浅谈以学生为中心的初中英语课堂教学:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_58004.html
