On the Application and Problems of Cooperative Learning in Junior Middle School English Classes
Abstract Cooperative learning came to China in 1980s. As an effective teaching method, it attracted a lot of teachers and scholars. However, cooperative learning is still new in China. The research on how to apply cooperative learning in English teaching, especially in junior middle school English teaching is limited. In order to have a deep understanding of current English teaching situation and existing problems in junior middle school, the author carried out a research in a middle school.
In the study, the main research methods include literature review, interview method, questionnaire method and observation method. In the literature review part, the author searched many relevant professional books and articles. And in the experiment, the author used three research methods to get ample data for later analysis.
The author carried out the experiment in Xiao Cao’e Middle School in Yu Yao. The subjects covered from Grade 1 to Grade 3, including 280 students and 12 English teachers. From the data, the author found lots of problems existing in cooperative learning in junior middle school English classes, such as low efficiency, uneven distribution of grouping, low participation of some students, misunderstanding and so on. The author listed three main problems and put forward corresponding solutions from the aspect of grouping, task design and others.
In the study, a detailed introduction of cooperative learning will be given at first, including the definition and development. In the development part, both China and abroad will be involved.

摘要合作性学习在20世纪80年代传入中国，作为一种有效的教学方式，吸引了大量教师和学者。然而合作性学习对于中国来说还是一新样事物，有关如何将合作性学习运用到英语教学，尤其是初中英语教学的研究仍十分有限。为了对现行初中英语教育现状和存在问题有一个深入的了解，作者在一所中学开展了一次调查。
在本次调查中，最主要的研究方法包括文献检索，采访，问卷和观察。在文献检索部分，笔者搜集阅读了相关的专业书籍与文献。在实验部分，笔者采用三种研究方法并行的方式以得到充足的数据来进行接下来的分析。 初中英语合作学习的应用与存在问题的研究:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_45358.html
