Study of application of topic-based cooperative learning in college English class

传统的英语教学模式存在“单向传输”的弊端,与英语教学的互动性特点和培养交际能力的重点背道而驰。本文在分析中国目前的大学英语课堂教学的弊端及现代外语教学发展特点的基础上,介绍了话题型教学模式和合作学习理论,论述了合作学习在英语课堂的作用及存在的不足,提出将话题型教学模式与合作学习策略相结合改进现代大学英语课堂教学的新思路。

The traditional model of English teaching has the drawback of ＂one-way transmission＂, which is in diametrical opposition to the interactivity and communicability of English teaching. Based on the analysis of the drawbacks of the current college English teaching and the characteristics of foreign language teaching development, this paper introduces the theories of topic-based teaching and cooperative learning, discusses the application of cooperative learning in English teaching and its deficiency, and puts forward a new idea of integrating topic-based teaching with cooperative learning to reform the present college English classroom teaching.
