With the strengthening of China’s economic strength and status

economic exchanges at home and abroad are becoming more frequent

and the status of English as a subject in higher education is also rising. However

in English teaching in colleges and universities

there are widespread problems such as insufficient teaching practicability and low teaching efficiency. In this case

situational teaching based on constructivism theory has also been popularized and applied in English teaching in colleges and universities. This teaching method can not only promote English teaching reform

but also strengthen the cultivation of innovative consciousness

which provides an important boost for the development of English teaching in colleges and universities. This paper analyzes the application of situational teaching in college English teaching from the perspective of constructivism theory

and puts forward some application measures.
