Abstract

The cognitive style of field independence (FI), as well as field dependence (FD), is one of the factors that influence learners' second language acquisition(SLA). In foreign language teaching, teachers should pay special attention to students' differences in styles, and adjust teaching strategies according to their learning characteristics, so as to maximize their potential. This paper starts from literature reviews of cognitive style at home and abroad, and then expands the research design including research subjects, research instruments, research questions, research results and research implications. The importance of paying attention to the students' different cognitive styles in foreign language teaching is emphasized in the part of conclusion.
