The Fit of Constructivist Teaching Theory and Foreign Language Teaching Reform in the Background of the Internet Era

Abstract

Abstract The development of the fit between constructivist teaching theory and foreign language teaching is explored to improve learners’ language proficiency and comprehensive application skills effectively. This paper discusses a constructivist teaching model in the Internet era, using the fruit fly algorithm to optimize the kernel function of support vector machines and then constructing an FOA-SVM classification analysis model. The FOA-SVM model was used to analyze the fit data of the foreign language culture introduction teaching model based on constructivist teaching theory, including teaching principles and teaching practices. Regarding teaching principles, 55.69% of the students thought that the appropriateness principle was the best for the constructivist teaching theory to fit foreign language teaching. In terms of teaching practice, students’ learning attitude, learning initiative, learning ability, language ability, and application ability increased by 65.55%, 71.94%, 62.23%, 62.22%, and 78.42%, respectively. This shows that the integration and development of constructivist teaching theory and foreign language teaching should be based on the principle of appropriateness, and the use of a foreign language culture introduction mode of teaching is conducive to improving students’ learning attitudes and initiatives.
