摘　　要：English literature is of great importance to the Chinese learners of English. This paper seeks to find some solution to the decline in the teaching of English literature in a Chinese context. Problems in a Chinese class are first analyzed. And then from a constructivist perspective that knowledge can be best mastered when students find their personal involvement with what they are learning, a proposal is put forward that a critical attitude and response to the literary texts are important. To introduce critical activities into class, one has first to help students overcome their 'theory anxieties' brought forth by the advanced development of critical theories. Ecocriticism as an ethical critical approach to literature does not hold a big corpus of new and academic terms, and thus is a most desirable substitute, which also cares for the current issues of ecological calamities. Sample students' reactions to ecocriticism in a Chinese class are offered.英语文学对于中国学生的英语学习非常重要。从建构学习理论的角度可以知道知识只有在学生亲身经历时才能最好地被掌握,因此对文学文本的批判性阅读是文学教学与英语学习的一条最佳出路。通过对学生的生态文学批评的一些个案分析,可以看到,教师必须先让学生摆脱批评理论不断发展所带来的"理论焦虑",而生态批评作为伦理批评没有太多新而专业的术语,是一种非常理想的批评工具,而且同时直接面对当前的生态危机。
