ABSTRACT

This paper discusses English language teaching and evaluation from the perspective of deeper learning theory. Deeper learning is a learning style that pays attention to high-level thinking. It emphasizes that learners can understand the meaning of learning content independently and establish the connection between new and old knowledge to solve practical problems. The current situation of English language teaching and learning in senior high schools is introduced in detail and the existing problems are pointed out. On this basis, how and what students should learn English are depicted from the perspective of deeper learning theory. Pedagogical implications about how teachers should guide students to carry out deeper learning in the classroom and evaluate their learning are given.
