Abstract

According to social constructivism, knowledge is not passively accumulated, but rather, is the result of active cognition by the individual, of social interaction and language usage. It emphasizes the co-construction of meaning within a social activity, and acknowledges the learner’s active role in the personal creation of knowledge. Based on the social constructivist theory, the author tries to study and analyze what role the students are playing and how it affects classroom interaction. It is found that the students are playing a passive role instead of taking an active part. This passive role of the students in turn affects classroom interaction in three aspects. Finally suggestions are given to help the students get more involved in class.
