What is primarily considered in traditional teaching methods is vocabulary learning, text reading, grammatical rules learning etc. These approaches seldom focus on the practical participation of the learners in class. In china, the new high school course clearly stated that the new educational goal of English teaching is to encourage the training of communicative ability of students, aiming to highlight the competence of practical application of the language in solving communicative problems. What coincides with this approach is the method of “cooperative learning”, which focuses on the cooperation between the teacher and the learners to accomplish a learning/teaching task. The so-called “cooperative learning” is a special learning method that was initialed in the United States in the 1970s.
