英语是一门语言,需要沟通和交流。但是在传统的初中英语教学中,其对话性质和应用性质被大大降低了,只是局限于知识的应试应用。这样的教学只会带来死板的英语教学,使得英语这门语言失去本质,学生无法学到其精髓,真正掌握英语这门语言。因此在新课标中,对英语的实际应用能力提出了要求,成为教学目标之一。因此英语教师要重视英语对话和自主探索学习的能力,将其融入日常的教学当中,从教学方法出发来保障这一教学目标的实现。根据笔者多年的英语教学经验,能够达到这一目的的教学手段就是“合作学习”。本文从合作学习的手段出发,讲述其优势所在,并提出相应的注意事项。 English is a language that requires communication and exchange.
