多元智能理论视野下的英语合作学习模式探究

Study on English cooperative learning mode in sight of multiple intelligences theory

霍华德.加德纳教授的多元智能理论(MI理论)对"智能"进行了全新的诠释,他认为每个人身上都有8种独立的智能,这些智能之间独特的组合方式构成了人与人之间的差异。目前,人们越来越关注MI理论对教育的促进作用,合作学习是MI理论原则应用于教育领域的一种方式,英语听说课的研究实验表明:以MI理论为指导的合作学习模式有利于学生英语听、说能力的提高,学生之间的个体差异性缩小,学生的学习兴趣和自信心增强。

Howard Gardner puts forward a new definition for ＂intelligence＂ in his Multiple Intelligences Theory （MI theory） and he proves that everyone owns 8 different kinds of intelligences but people＇s profile of intelligences is different. No two people have exactly the same intelligences in the same combination. The educational benefit brought by MI has drawn more and more concern. Cooperative Learning （CL）method can be regarded as a way of implementing MI principles into the educational environments. The empirical study in English Speaking and Listening shows that：CL under the guidance of MI theory is beneficial to the students＇ English speaking and listening. The students＇ individual differences becomessmaller and their interest and confidence in English learning has improved.
