合作学习在初中英语教学中的应用

论文摘要

合作学习是有效的教学策略之一,它能激发和培养学生学习英语的兴趣,使学生树立自信心,养成良好的学习习惯和形成有效的学习策略,为终身学习打下良好的基础。《新课程标准》明确指出,要“创设各种合作学习的活动,促使学生互相学习、互相帮助,体验集体荣誉感和成就感,发展合作精神”,使学生“认识自己学习的优势与不足,乐于与他人合作,养成和谐与健康向上的品格”。本文通过对合作学习的理论和实践的研究,阐述合作学习在初中英语教学的地位和作用,提高教师对合作学习的认识,探索教英语的学英语的方法,不断地提高学生学英语的能力。作者在所任课的两个班级进行实验,一个班实施合作学习方法,一个班级不实施合作学习方法,然后以问卷调查的形式对学生学习英语的动机、态度以及合作学习对英语教学产生的影响结果等从理论和教学实践角度作了详细的分析比较和说明。结果表明合作学习在初中起着不可忽视的作用。它能提高学生的学习主动性,增加自信心,从而提高学习效果。最后提出了研究的局限性及对进一步研究的启示。
