Relationship Between Learners Field Dependent/Independent Cognitive Styles and College English Teachers Roles
As an important concept in SLA, cognitive style has been the focus of many researchers for quite a long period, and among all the cognitive styles that have been studied, field dependence/independence cognitive styles are prominent. At the same time, teachers role has also been another hot issue in SLA. In this article, the author first deals with the current situations in China, then gives details about the definitions about cognitive styles and field dependence/independence styles. After these, the relationship between learners field cognitive styles and teachers role in current college English teaching classrooms has been analyzed. Based on the previous analysis, the author puts forward that teachers roles should be dynamic and multi-facets, the relationship between the learners field cognitive styles and teachers roles in classroom should be interactive. Teachers roles should not be limited by learners field dependence/independence, and teachers should guide learners language learning by modifying learners field cognitive styles for the purpose of optimizing the teaching-learning results of second language acquisition.
