中文摘要:提倡自主、合作、探究精神的“小组合作学习”模式已被广泛引用到初中英语教学当中。该模式能很好地培养学生的创新思维能力、小组合作精神和综合语言能力。
虽然我国专家学者对小组合作学习的研究越来越深入,但是仍然有很多问题未被引起注意。如小组合作学习模式的应用现状怎么样?当该模式被运用到初中英语教学中时又出现了哪些问题?教师应该如何反思?等问题。笔者选取曾经实习的学校——中山市民众中学作为个案研究的对象。同时,采用了课堂观察、调查问卷和访谈等方式了解小组合作学习的实施情况;在此基础上对小组合作学习模式在实施中出现的问题进行了探讨;反思了这些问题产生的原因,并提出了一些改进措施。例如教师应该使用更先进更创新的教学方式来指导学生开展小组合作学习。
