CL和TBLT影响下独立学院英语课堂分组活动设计和教学实例研究

An Empirical Study on the Application of Grouping Strategy Based on CL and TBLT Theories to Comprehensive English Classes in Independent College

合作学习在改善课堂氛围和提高互动质量方面效果显著。以往针对合作学习的研究多集中在该理论在不同课程中的应用和效应,对如何分组的实证研究并不多见。本研究侧重如何构建基层合作小组,以及如何将基层合作小组与任务型语言教学相结合。研究结果表明,该教学策略能提高学生成绩、增加学生开口机会和调动学生的积极性;但在提高学生英语水平方面不存在显著差异。

Cooperative learning has been proved to work ef-fectively in adding to class vibes and improving the quality of classroom interactions. While previous studies have most-ly focused on the application and effectiveness of CL theo-ries, and have little contribution to the effects of CL group-ing strategies, this study investigates the effectiveness of a combined teaching strategy based on CL cooperative base groups and task-based language teaching on comprehensive English classes in Chinese independent college. The results indicate that it can improve students’ test performance, but not necessarily their language competence. However, it can generate more chances to practice and add to the class vibes.
