Experimental Research on Collaborative Learning in Non-major CET

The collaborative learning (CL) focusing on the teacher-student and student-student interaction and cooperation is a beneficial attempt to reforming the present teaching model. An experimental research was conducted to acquire some empirical evidence on CLpsilas effectiveness at the college level. Some CL strategies were exercised in non-major college English teaching (CET) of experimental class and three questionnaires and two tests were designed to check the effectiveness of CL. The result of the research indicates the CL strategies have positive influence on non-major CET and they are exercisable and effective. It can enhance the participation of students in class, increase studentspsila commitment to English study after class, relieve anxiety in study and create a harmonious climate of study, which in turn improve studentspsila grades and interaction in CET.
