ABSTRACT: The ultimate goal of high school English teaching is to enable learners
to master language skills and therefore improve their ability in language use
comprehensively. Language application ability can be gained by self-learning
rather than being taught by teachers. And the mastery degree of English
learning largely depends on students’ subjectivity and participation. The
traditional English teaching mainly focuses on teachers, and the teaching mode
often overlooks students’ subjectivity and independence. Under such a context,
stimulating and cultivating students’ self-learning awareness and ability to
learn English independently has become one of the important goals of high
school English teaching. The aim of this study is to explore effective teaching
design solutions for cultivating and developing students’ independent learning
abilities in high school when learning English, and seek to find concrete steps
for teachers to conduct design framework and further apply into practice when
giving lessons for high school English independent learning, and statistical
testing methods will be used to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of
this solution. This study mainly adopts two methods including literature review
and experimental research. The study shows that implementing teaching plan
based on independent learning theory in high school English teaching can
stimulate students’ motivation for independent learning, develop students’
independent learning ability, and improve their comprehensive language
proficiency.
