Analysis of result 5.Conclusion 5 Why did I choose the theme for my study?Some problems of reading teaching method in High School.?Cooperative learning method will be useful for high school English teachers according to the conclusion of the experiment.Research Orientation:6 Q1:Can Cooperative Learning improve students reading achievement?Research Questions Q2:Can students motivation of reading be enhanced by conducting the Cooperative learning strategy?7 The theory of Cooperative Learning Hierarchy of Needs Theory Constructionist theory Theories of motivation Theories relating to the English reading teaching.8 How?Participants Instruments Teaching mode Research Design 9 Research Design Class Grade number Experimental Class Three 48 Control Class Three 48 the Participants 10 2.Questionnaires 1.Pre-test and Post-test Instruments Pre-test and Post-rest are reading comprehension from 2012 and 2013 Liaoning College Entrance Examination papers.The two test papers are almost of the same difficult.11 Time Test Subject Purpose 2013.9 Pre-test 48 Prove both classes are at the same reading level 2014.1 Post-test 48 Get and analyze the data Questionnaire I including the learning interests,motivations and personal feelings was conducted for both class twice before and after the experiment in order to compare the experimental results.Questionnaire II was designed only for experimental class to find out the changes of students after cooperative experiment.13 Data collection Teaching Mode in Control Class Teacher Students Reading materials out of text books Direct communication 14 Teaching Mode in experimental class Step 1：group division(choose one reporter in each group and change them by turns)Step 2：pre-reading,while reading and post-reading,tasks are finished by Ss in groups and showed by reporters.Step 3:Monitor and evaluate the group work.15 What?Test Questionnaire Data analysis Research Questions 16 Table 4.4:Analysis of academic achievements

strategy is useful in improving Sss reading achievement as well as in enhancing Sss reading motivation Conclusion 25 Limitations?The number of the chosen students is not big enough.?The time for this complex experiment is short.?The quality of questionnaires need to be refined and improved.26?1 Firstly,this thesis is not only a guidance to students but also the instruction to English teachers.It is very necessary for teachers to learn cooperative learning skill,which is the foundation for teachers teaching.?2 Students are not very familiar with cooperative learning method so they can not always make full use of Cooperative Learning,even the skilled students.So it is one of the biggest problems for researchers to solve how teachers maximize the effect of Cooperative Learning.In fact,no matter what method we use,we should take the students as the core,and focus more on students needs.We can not have blind faith in Cooperative Learning,for no teaching approach is perfect.Suggestions
