合作学习理论在高校英语教学实践中的应用

合作学习是基于现代社会学和心理学的一种学习理念。它指的是在学习活动中学生以小组活动进行集体学习，相互帮助，相互促进学习，并最后以小组集体成绩进行评价的学习策略。合作学习同传统教学有着根本上的不同，它不仅是教学形式、教学方法的改革，而且是教学理念、教学思想的变化。在我国高校外语教学中，合作学习主要在精读课、口语课等基础技能课方面进行实践。近两年来我们在翻译课、文学课、语法课及概况课等方面的教学中进行了合作学习实践尝试，也取得了一定的经验和心得。

On Cooperative Learning in Teaching Foreign Languages at Colleges and Universities

Cooperative learning, a teaching idea based on modem sociology and psychology,refers to the learning strategy in which students learn in groups, cooperate with and help each other, and assess their own accomplishment through the assessment of the group work. Cooperative learning is substantially different from traditional teaching methods. It is not only a reform in teaching modes and teaching methods ,but also a change in educational concepts and ideas. In colleges and universities in China, cooperative learning has been practised mainly in teaching intensive reading, oral English and other courses of basic language skills. In recent years ,we have experimented with cooperative learning in courses such as translation, literature, grammar and cultural background, and we have learned a great deal and have accumulated some experience.
