1. Introduction
With the increase in the international economic and technical exchanges，英语论文范文，the teaching of oral English has obtained great achievements. However, it can not be ignored that the teaching of oral English has always been facing the problem of large scale of the class, which is contradicted with the emphasis on contact and interaction in language teaching. At the same time, most students lack initiative while learning. Although they can learn some important language features, the understanding and expression ability can’t get enough improvement. Cooperative learning method has played a great role in improving the social and psychological atmosphere in the classroom, students’ academic performance, as well as in promoting students to form a good non-cognitive quality. Since 1980s it has attracted the attention from all over the world and has become one of the mainstream contemporary teaching theories and strategies. Although domestic research on cooperative learning is rich, and has got fruitful achievements, there are still not enough studies aiming at college students. Domestic research tends to put primary and secondary students as the research object while neglect the group of college students. Therefore, the research and development of cooperative learning model aimed at college students has far-reaching theoretical and practical significance. This paper conducts a small survey on cooperative learning in oral English teaching in universities, and explores its possible positive and negative effects on the development of students, and also provides some specific suggestions for the rational application of cooperative learning. |
