Type: article
Abstract: College English teaching is a crucial component of higher education. Enhancing college students’ English learning outcomes has long been a primary focus for educators. With the continuous evolution of educational philosophies, traditional college English teaching methods no longer meet the learning needs of contemporary students. Situational cognitive learning theory emphasizes learner-centered approaches and highlights the contextual and practical application of knowledge, offering innovative perspectives for reforming college English teaching. When applied effectively, situational cognitive learning theory can optimize teaching methods and significantly improve learning outcomes. This paper explores the connotation and characteristics of situational cognitive learning theory, evaluates its applicability in college English teaching, and discusses its practical implementation in this context. The aim is to provide theoretical and practical references for improving the quality of college English education.
