Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Research
With the rise and development of reflective teacher education movement in America,Britain, Canada, etc., “reflection” has gradually come into our country researchers’ perspective.However, most of the researches on reflection focus on teachers, such as “reflective teaching”,“reflective teacher”, and “reflective practice” and so on. As Jin Yule (2006) said, most ofreflective teaching models are about teachers, not students, and they can’t realize teaching is abilateral activity that teachers and students must jointly participate in. In his view, teaching andlearning include two subjects, that is, teacher and student. Therefore, both teachers and studentsare supposed to be focused, regardless of reflective teaching or reflective learning. It is importantand necessary to do research on students’ reflective learning. The background of this researchconsists of three parts: the requirement of lifelong learning, the needs of English CurriculumStandards, as well as the needs of teaching practice.
It is necessary to cultivate students' capacity of reflecting on their own learning process inorder to make them adapt to the implementation of innovative education in the 21st century.Since the first world lifelong learning was held in Rome in 1994, lifelong learning has becomean important idea. In the area of knowledge economy, the ultimate goal of education is notsimply to teach students to learn, but to teach students to learn how to learn. Reflective learningcan help learners know their own strengths and weaknesses and make corresponding adjustment,which are an important part of learning. Therefore, senior high students who are in alifelong-learning society should not only value the scientific knowledge study, but also adjusttheir own English learning, improve their all-round qualities, and gradually learn how to learn bymeans of reflection. Under this condition, students can reflect on their own English studies andmaster English learning methods, which are beneficial to their mastery of English in a moreefficient way, and which will help them become more competitive than others, regardless of theNational College Entrance Examination or future study.

3.1 Research Questions
In order to find out the overall situation of English reflective learning of senior high schoolstudents, differences of students’ English reflective learning in different background of grades,genders and subjects and main factors affecting English reflective learning. Therefore, thisresearch aims to answer the following three questions:
(1) What is the overall situation of senior high school students’ English reflective learning?
(2) Are there any significant differences in English reflective learning between male andfemale, between students in liberal arts and science, and among students in different grades?

Chapter 5 Implications
5.1 Major Findings
This research focuses on the investigation of English reflective learning of senior highschool students by means of questionnaire and interview to find out the overall situation ofstudents’ English reflective learning, the differences in English reflective learning between maleand female, between students in liberal arts and science, and among students in different grades,as well as the main affecting factors of students’ English reflective learning. In accordance withthe statistics from the questionnaire and interview, the major findings of this research aresummarized as follows.
First of all, English reflective learning of senior high school students is in middle level onthe whole. Judging from this survey results, it can be seen that among three dimensions, themean value of awareness of ERL is the highest, followed by contents of ERL and strategies ofERL. In terms of awareness of English reflective learning, a large number of students have theawareness of English reflective learning. However, although students understand the role Englishreflective learning play in their learning, a few of them have a good habit of reflecting on theirown English learning. Then, in terms of contents of English reflective learning, most studentshave no clear idea about it. They don’t know what they should reflect on and how they shouldreflect on, especially in the aspect of learning process and learning outcome. In terms ofstrategies of English reflective learning, students mainly use the strategies of previewing strategy,summarizing strategy and communicating strategy among the five reflective strategies.
5.2 Pedagogical Implications
On the basis of the major findings of this research, it can be seen clearly that there are stillseveral possibilities for improving students’ English reflective learning. Therefore, the authoroffers some pedagogical implication to foster students’ English reflective learning.
5.2.1 Pedagogical Implications for Students
In the view of students of constructivism learning theory, students play a role of mainsubject in learning. Therefore, students need to take active measures to develop and improvetheir level of English reflective learning. Some implications for students are as follows.
5.2.1.1 Increasing Their Knowledge of English Reflective Learning
The degree of knowledge of reflection can directly affect students’ English reflectivelearning. If students who have higher level of knowledge of English reflective learning, they willconduct self-reflective learning well. So students can actively attend some lectures about Englishreflective learning to strengthen the awareness of self-reflection and knowledge of Englishreflective learning. Through the lectures, students can have a clear understanding of Englishreflective learning. Of course, it is also essential for students to ask teachers for help to knowabout the knowledge of English reflective learning, including contents and strategies of Englishreflective learning. In the aspect of contents of English reflective learning, students should putemphasis on reflecting on learning goal, learning process and learning outcome. Therefore,students’ English reflective learning actions are roughly divided into three steps consisting of theones before learning, while reading and after reading.
