摘要：英语教学为我国培养高级人才有重要作用，有助于我国与英语国家进行友好的经济文化交流。义务教育阶段的小学英语是学生学好英语和养成良好英语学习习惯的关键时期，词汇教学也是英语教学中不可缺少的部分。英语词汇学习会直接影响学生语言表达和进行听、说、读、写等语言活动，但目前小学英语词汇教学效果并不理想。本文将旨在解决小学英语词汇教学过程中，教师是否有培养学生进行词汇意义构建和建立词汇联系的意识，他们通常采用哪些词汇教学策略来提高词汇教学效率，建构主义理论是否能推动小学英语教师词汇教学进步。研究表明，多数小学英语教师有培养学生进行词汇意义构建和建立词汇联系的意识，但由于教师个人性格和教育经验不同，存在较大差异。本文将以成都市简阳地区小学五年级的学生和英语教师为研究对象，采用课堂观察法分析实际的小学英语词汇教学课堂，分析江苏省某小学英语公开课教学案例，从教师和学生两个角度出发，以建构主义为主的教学理论为支撑，为小学英语词汇教学提供具体的教学策略改进建议。
