Abstract In China, English is one of the compulsory subjects in senior middle schools. As we all know, grammar teaching is an essential part of English teaching. But because of many different problems both of the teachers and the students have been puzzled about how to teach and learn grammar more efficiently. Many experts and English teachers also have been taking great pains to it. The students in senior middle school are poor at autonomous study and they cannot realize the grammar knowledge systematically. While quite a lot of their teachers are still teaching grammar with the traditional mode, which overemphasizes the transmission and explanation of knowledge about grammar. Based on the analysis of the current status in grammar teaching in senior middle school, the positive effects of applying the constructivist theory in grammar teaching has been put forward and illustrated in this thesis. So that students’ grammar levels can be strengthened and their comprehensive English competence would be facilitated.69651
