合作学习是一种学生以小组形式通过互助、互相依赖活动、在教师指导等相关因素的交互作用下,完成一定的学习任务的课堂教学组织形式,其目的是要促进学生在认知、情感和态度上的积极发展。新《英语课程标准》集中体现了改革中的“以学生为中心”、“倡导合作与交流的学习方式”的观念,并已确定为课堂教学的最为基本的理念。在此理念下的课堂教学既关心教师如何教,更强调学生如何学,提出了学生的学习策略和学习情感因素是学习成功的决定因素。 Cooperative learning is a kind of classroom teaching organization in which students complete certain learning tasks through mutual aid and interdependent activities in the form of small groups under the interaction of teachers ’instruction and other related factors. The purpose of cooperative learning is to promote students’ Positive development in attitude. The new “English Curriculum Standards” embodies the concept of “student-centered” and “learning styles of promoting cooperation and exchange” in the reform and has been identified as the most basic concept of classroom teaching. Under this concept, classroom teaching not only cares about how teachers teach, but also emphasizes how students learn. It puts forward that students’ learning strategies and learning affective factors are the decisive factors in learning success.
