24、y of receptive skill. According to the New Curriculum Standard, the main purpose of English teaching in high school is to develop students reading ability. Our school is an ordinary high school, because the students5 English levels are quite low, it is very hard for teachers to make students active

25、in class. Most teachers still apply old teaching model in English reading class, in which teachers are the center of the class while students just act as “listeners”. That is， teachers speak most of time in class, explaining the text word by word and asking individual student to answer several quest

26、ions, in the meantime, students are busy taking notes with little time to interact with others. As a result, students become passive learners, many of whom lose interest in English reading class, and some even give up English learning. It is not surprising that their reading ability and reading scor

27、es are very low. Therefore, the author feels it necessary to adopt a new model, which can involve every students participation in class, and enable to help students reading interest and reading scores be improved. The New Curriculum Standard emphasizes the communication between students and points o

28、ut that students should be given much time to participate, experience, cooperate and explore in class. Cooperative learning can create such an opportunity. After reading a lot of literature and materials related to cooperative learning, the author finds that cooperative learning can have a good effe

29、ct on English reading if applied properly. Though much research has been done on the application of cooperative learning in different middle schools, actually, few high schools put it into teaching practice in my region. The main reasons are that student number of a class is large and the pressure o

30、f the examination is heavy. So the author wants to apply cooperative learning in English reading in our school to find out whether it is an effective way to improve students， reading achievements, change their attitude and interest in English 内蒙古师范大学硕士学位论文 reading. The author expects the results of

31、the research will be a supplement and breakthrough to traditional reading learning model and may provide teachers with a systematic cooperative learning to guide the teaching of reading in our school. 1.2 The Significance of the Study This thesis tends as an empirical study of cooperative learning i

32、n high school in order to prove the effectiveness of cooperative learning. Cooperative learning has been adopted widely and has been regarded as one of the most effective teaching model, which has its origins in many theories. Furthermore, cooperative learning meets the requirements of the New Curri

33、culum Standard， thus, the author does this study, expecting cooperative learning model will have a positive effect in English reading class. 1. Adopting cooperative learning means a lot of interactions will be involved in reading class. It can create a relaxing atmosphere in which students are encou

34、raged to learn. Not only can they take an active part in the activities in class but also they can find a great pleasure in the process. By cooperating, students may leam from each other and help each other instead of relying on the teacher alone. Hence, there is no need for them to be nervous when

35、facing difficult questions, or to be afraid of being laughed at before the whole class if making mistakes. As a result, students will become confident and active in learning. 2. Cooperative learning can stimulate students interest in learning because of flexible forms, they can experience various ac

36、tivities. Instead of just sitting straight listening to the teacher or taking notes, students have their own tasks to finish, so they are curious and excited to do it well. Interest is the best teacher. Naturally， students will concentrate more on learning, which can lead to a good sense of success.

37、 In turn, students become more interested. Thus, they have more motivation and autonomy in learning. 3. It can improve students comprehensive ability of language using. What they need to do is listening to the teacher requirement, reading the passage carefully, discussing the questions with the part

38、ners, taking down key points and reporting to the class. In this way, their integrated skills of listening， speaking, reading and writing 2 Chapter I Introduction can be practised and improved. 4. It can promote students strong sense of team work. In cooperative learning, in order to finish the common task, the group members in each team tend to work hard together. Everyone has his or her duty, they have no choice to hold back or give up, because the success of the team depends on everyone
