“Think-Pair-Share”英语口语教学模式的实证研究

摘要

以主动学习理论和合作学习理论为基础，以大学一年级学生为研究对象，尝试在大学英语口语教学中引入“Think - Pair - Share”教学模式。通过前测—实验—后测的实验方法对学生语言输出的质量进行对比分析。研究发现，实验组通过相关训练后，较之控制组在语言的准确性和范围、话语长短和连贯性、语言灵活性和适切性三个方面均具有显著提高，其中以话语长短和连贯性的提高最为突出。研究结果同时表明“Think - Pair - Share”模式更适合人数较少的班级。%" Think - Pair - Share" is one of the most popular class organization modes.
