Abstract: The constructivism theory is student-oriented, emphasizing that the students should actively explore and discover the knowledge, and construct their own knowledge structure.This article takes the constructivism theory as the guidance and students as the main subject, by setting up a realistic scenario so as to encourage independent learning and collaborative learning, and tries to discuss the influence of teaching mode with the sense-making theory as the ultimate goal towards the foreign language listening teaching.Index Terms -Constructivism, Foreign Language, Listening Teaching Listening teaching has long been neglected by teachers and students in foreign language teaching.In listening teaching, it is common that only teachers speak and explain the dialogues in the textbooks while the students seldom have the chance to practice, causing the listening class a quite boring course.In addition, in order to improve students' test-taking ability, the teachers may easily set the teaching purposes of listening class as how to achieve better scores in the foreign language proficiency tests.In this situation, the whole teaching course may let students feel tired about and quite defensive to the listening class, which result in their poor listening level on the contrary.Therefore, a proper teaching way to improve students' listening and speaking level is particularly important.This paper tries to explore an effective listening teaching mode with the constructivism theory as the guidance.
