Abstract

This paper is to explore the relationship between field independence, field dependence and foreign language teaching, and the influence of these two cognitive styles on foreign language teaching. Because learners with field-independent and field-dependent cognitive styles have different learning strategies, teachers should choose teaching methods that match learners' cognitive styles in foreign language teaching to achieve individualized teaching. Therefore, on the basis of analyzing the characteristics of the two cognitive styles and their influence on foreign language teaching, this paper takes oral teaching as an example to design teaching strategies that adapt to different learners' cognitive styles.
