摘要如何在英语课堂教学中有效地运用合作学习已经成为教育界讨论的一个热点话题。本文首先介绍初中英语课堂合作学习的理念和影响合作学习的两种不同的性格：内向型和外向型。然后，本文以初中英语课本一个单元为例，把一个班的学生分成内向型、外向型和混合型三组，通过分析三组学生在合作学习中的表现来探究性格差异对合作学习的影响。最终得出结论：不同性格的人在合作学习中的表现不同，影响了合作学习的效果。内向组更倾向于听力；外向组倾向于口语表达；而混合性格的学生则是偏向于综合技能。因此，合作学习分组需要考虑学生性格的多样性，达到组内平衡，提高英语合作学习的效率。

1. Introduction 

     As is known to all, Cooperative learning is one of the most populous models in the teaching field. It has become a widespread educational approach in the United States since 1970. It is a creative and effective approach that we often used in the class which contributes to improving the leaning ability of students. It is a structured, systematic instructional strategy in which small groups work together toward a common goal. In the English class, teachers play the role of guiders while students are the main body to take part in the class, at this time, cooperative learning should be taken into the class for every group to have cooperation especially when teachers assign tasks.
