Think-pair-share is one of the frequently-used activities in TESL in Canada,which gives students the opportunity to thoughtfully respond to questions in written form and to engage in meaningful dialogues with other students around these issues.This format helps students build confidence,encourages greater participation and often results in more thoughtful discussions.Therefore,based on the cooperative language learning approach,this paper explores the application of think-pair-share in TESL classrooms and provides suggestions for teaching English as a foreign language in China.
