Exploration of College English Teaching Model Based on Network Group Collaboration

Abstract

With the development of modern network and information technologies, the traditional teaching model no longer fits for modern college English teaching. Students only gain control right of the study in web-based, self-directed acceptance model in which their subjective initiative may be brought into full play; however, their critical thinking and communication skills may not be improved. The network group collaborative teaching model can be an option for the remedy of the deficiency. This paper summarizes basic elements of network group collaboration in college English teaching and explores the modes of collaborative learning applicable for teaching, followed by some suggestions proposed for the construction of English learning community which can be used to stimulate the willingness of true communication.
