《义务教育英语课程标准》倡导学生主动参与合作,使学生真正成为学习的主人,通过合作学习,使他们学会尊重别人,具有团结、合作、协调的精神,能与他人共同学习、工作和生活。作为新课程倡导的三大学习方式之一,小组合作学习在形式上成为有别于传统教学的一个最明显特征。教育学生学会共同生活是当今世界教育的重要课题,面对教育教学改革和新课程的实施,小组合作学习越来越受广大中小学外语教学工作者的重视。 The English Curriculum Standard for Compulsory Education advocates that students take the initiative to participate in and cooperate with each other so that students can truly become the masters of learning. Through cooperative learning, they can learn to respect others and have the spirit of unity, cooperation and coordination, and can learn, work and live together with others. As one of the three major learning styles advocated by the new curriculum, the cooperative learning of the group has become one of the most obvious features in form that is different from the traditional teaching. Educating students to learn to live together is an important issue in today’s world of education. In the face of the reform of education and teaching and the implementation of new curricula, the cooperative learning of the group has drawn more and more attention from the foreign language teaching workers in primary and secondary schools.
