To make students learn and understand the development background and the main content of foreign modern architecture history from a broader and more macroscopic view, the paper puts forward some exploration and suggestion about teaching of the foreign modern architecture history. The teaching should strengthen the relation among social background, artist history and ancient architectural history, and pay attention to the combination of history teaching with theory teaching. Meanwhile, teachers should emphasize the case analysis to strengthen the cultivation of students’ analysis ability. Through these teaching explorations, students can consciously and gradually establish their own architectural view.
