Collaborative Learning in EFL Writing Classroom

合作学习侧重以群体为主,以学习者为中心来组织教学活动,强调学习者的个性、内在动机、自我指导、个人发展及合作意识。作者在教学实践中,尝试以过程教学法为指导、以合作性学习手段来组织大学英语写作教学,取得了初步成效:合作学习营造了轻松的写作氛围,降低了写作焦虑;相互协作有助于打开思路,激发新想法;同级反馈丰富了写作者的输入信息,有助于发现错误和作文修改。但实践中也发现一些问题:课内时间的局限性,纪律约束的缺乏导致部分学生注意力分散,小组长的水平对合作效果有较大影响,某些水平较弱的学生输入多于输出,甚至出现消极依赖现象。
