摘要：Economic globalization has put forward new requirements for foreign language teaching, and the development of science and technology has provided a new platform for English education. Cognitive load theory refers to the efforts in working memory and is a set of general learning principles that affect the process of cognitive learning by designing an effective teaching environment. "Flipped classroom", as an effective teaching method to reduce learners' cognitive load, is based on the cooperation between teachers and students with the progress of science and technology to realize the reform and innovation of foreign language education. This paper adopts the method of comparative research: comparing the traditional teaching method with the flipped classroom method; 12 English classes in 5 universities are selected by means of interview and questionnaire. Moreover, this paper will explore the relationship between the two teaching methods and students' cognitive load which will consequently play an indispensable role in understanding teenagers' cognitive pattern and optimizing teaching design. Effective cognitive regulation can reduce students' extraneous cognitive load and optimize educational functions, teacher-student relations, curriculum system and educational system.
