摘要:合作学习作为一种互动性极强的教学模式，已经越来越受到教育界的重视和提倡。为了了解到合作学习在红河学院英语专业一年级精读课程中的运用现状，本文采用了问卷调查、课堂观察和访谈的方法，对红河学院外国语学院教授英语精读的两名老师和八十九名学生进行了调查研究。旨在调查英语专业精读课程中合作学习的使用情况、教师使用合作学习的目的、学生和教师对使用合作学习的态度及期望和合作学习在英语精读课程中所起的作用的情况。结果表明在英语精读课程中师生双方赞成并喜欢使用合作学习辅助教学,特别是对理解所学内容，学习和情感交流，培养合作意识及轻松课堂气氛方面，合作学习有积极影响作用。本文运用合作学习理论来分析调查结果，并为精读课程中合作学习的使用提出了几点建议：1)要承认合作学习在精读课程中的作用；2）要更多关注学生对合作学习的期望；3）要明确合作学习使用的目的。本研究旨在引发教师和学生对合作学习使用的思考。
