在学生发展视角下,自主学习方式提高学生的独立思考能力和知识理解能力,而合作学习方式能发展学生的团队意识,有效地促进知识理解和课堂学习效率。在中学英语课堂教学中,自主学习和合作学习的课堂使用度需要科学把握,针对不同的教学内容,自主和合作学习要灵活的组合,才能充分发挥二者的应有作用。 In the perspective of student development, autonomous learning improves students ’ability of independent thinking and knowledge comprehension, while cooperative learning can develop students’ team awareness and effectively promote knowledge comprehension and classroom learning efficiency. In the English classroom teaching in secondary schools, the degree of classroom use of autonomous learning and cooperative learning needs to be grasped by science. For the different teaching contents, a flexible combination of autonomous and cooperative learning can give full play to their respective roles.
