A Brief Analysis of Cooperative Learning Model in English Teaching of Middle School

I. Introduction

At present, the national communication is becoming increasingly close, and English, as the most widely used language in the world, is becoming more and more important. China is attaching more and more importance to English education, and English has become an important course even in the primary stage of compulsory education. But now the English talents in China are still very scarce. It is generally believed that this kind of situation is caused by the long-term traditional education pattern.

In China, English education is still the main position of school education. However, the long-term exam-oriented education model led to most of the schools only pay attention to students’ academic performance. Under the guidance of this model, the teacher is the center of the classroom, ignores to improve students’ learning initiative and enthusiasm in the process of imparting knowledge. As a result, students can only be taught by teachers. This type of teaching model hinders the development of students’ autonomous learning ability and innovation ability, makes the enthusiasm of students’ learning efficiency decline, and violates the original intention of education, influences the cultivation of talents.

The Decision on Basic Education Reform and Development was officially released on May 29, 2001. The decision values on students’ learning style, puts forward to encourage cooperative learning clearly, promotes the communication between students and teachers, cultivates cooperation consciousness, promotes the formation of the harmonious relationship between teachers and students.
