But the current teaching strategy of oral English is still old and single. The cooperative-learning method is a creative and effective teaching theory and strategy widely adopted in many countries, and is also one of the proposed learning strategies under our new curriculum reform program. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the problems of oral English teaching in rural junior middle schools and cooperative learning on the importance of its improvement, to do research on how to improve the effectiveness of oral English teaching in rural junior middle schools by using cooperative learning and create a harmonious teaching atmosphere, associated with the authors practice teaching experience and understanding of the teachers and students in rural junior middle schools, based on the relevant theory and practice research. Eventually, the author puts forward that teachers should make good use of cooperative learning in teaching, so as to promote students to be more active and initiative in their learning, and to improve their learning efficiency and the efficiency of classroom teaching.Key words: cooperative learning; rural junior middle school English; oral English teaching; effectiveness摘要 随着新课标的颁布实施，我国英语教学改革步入新阶段。然而，当前的英语口语教学策略依然陈旧、单一。合作学习是目前许多国家采用的一种富有创新意义和实际效果的教学理论与策略体系,也是我国新课程改革提倡的学习方式之一。因此，本文结合自己的教学实习经验和对农村初中英语教师及初中生的了解，依据相关理论和实践研究，旨在分析农村初中英语口语教学中存在的问题及合作学习对其改善的重要性，研究如何运用合作学习提高农村初中英语口语教学的有效性，创建和谐的口语教学氛围。最后，提出教师在教学中运用合作学习时应注意的问题，从而激发农村初中学生学习的积极性和主动性，提高学生学习效率和课堂教学效率。关键词：合作学习；农村初中英语；口语教学；有效性161. Introduction The New Curriculum of English Standard requires junior middle school students master the four abilities including listening, speaking, reading and writing. Of all the four basic English skills, oral English plays a very important role in the real world communication. So oral English teaching is now being paid more and more attention. However, nowadays in China, a large number of junior middle school students cannot use English for oral communication well and especially those who come from rural areas. And the fact shows that oral English teaching in rural middle schools is not highly efficient. So in order to improve students oral English, things are needed to be done to avoid the negative influence of the traditional English teaching methods, but on the other hand, to enhance students participation, positive affective factors, interactions, and even interpersonal skills in oral English class. Cooperative learning plays a vital role, which refers to the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each others learning ( Johnson 1994,15). And in September 2001, in the Ministry of Education of Chinas “The Standard of New English Curriculum for Middle School in China”(SNECMSC), cooperative learning is encouraged to carry out in English classes. But what counts is how to use it effectively in English classes.Therefore, in this paper, the author will talk about what cooperative learning is and its importance for oral English learning and teaching in rural junior middle schools. And then the author will talk about how to improve the effectiveness of oral English teaching in rural junior middle schools by adopting cooperative learning, and create a harmonious teaching atmosphere. At last, the author will talk about that teachers should pay attention to problems when adopting cooperative learning in oral English teaching in rural junior middle schools.2. Cooperative Learning2.1 The Concept of Cooperative Learning So far, different definitions of cooperative learning have been proposed by different scholars. Nevertheless, different definitions focus on how to use group work to make both teaching and learning more and more efficient. According to D. W. Johnson and R. T. Johnson (Johnson 1994, 35), cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each others learning. Different from competitive learning and individual learning, in cooperative learning situations students are working together to accomplish shared goals. Among the goal attainments there is a positive interdependence: students perceive that they can reach their learning goals if and only if other students in the learning group also reach their goals.Up to now, there are a lot of theories which influence cooperative learning from different perspectives. Among those theories, some important and famous ones are constructism, the social interaction theory of Vygotsky, social interdependence theory, multiple intelligences theory, etc. For instance, multiple intelligences theory provides much supportive base for cooperative learning. In cooperative learning, the individuality has been paid a lot of attention, so most cooperative groups are heterogeneous. Hence students can benefit the most from one another. Furthermore, in cooperative learning, students are taught to develop their interpersonal skills while doing the teaching tasks. And without these skills, some tasks cannot be finished. So cooperative learning can help students get more interpersonal skills. So we can say, cooperative learning is a good way to put multiple intelligences theory into practice.2.2 Principles of Cooperative LearningMany principles of cooperative learning have been proposed. Here, according to David W. Johnson, Roger T. Johnson, and Edythe Johnson Holubec, there are five basic principles to follow:First, Positive Interdependence. Students perceive that they need each other in order to complete the groups task (“sink or swim together”). Teachers may structure positive interdependence by establishing mutual goals (learn and make sure all other group members learn), joint rewards (if all group members achieve above the criteria, each will receive bonus points), shared resources (one paper for each group or each member receives part of the required information), and assigned roles (summarizer, encourager of participation, elaborator). Second, Face-to-Face Promotive Interaction. Students promote each others learning by helping, sharing, and encouraging efforts to learn. Students explain, discuss, and teach what they know to classmates. Teachers structure the groups so that students sit knee-to-knee and talk through each aspect of the assignment. Third, Individual Accountability. Each students performance is frequently assessed and the results are given to the group and the individual. Teachers may structure individual accountability by giving an individual test to each student or randomly selecting one group member to give the answer. Fourth, Interpersonal and Small Group Skills. Groups cannot function effectively if students do not have and use the needed social skills. Teachers teach these skills as purposefully and precisely as academic skills. Collaborative skills include leadship, decision-making, trust-building, communication, and conflict-management skills.Fifth, Group Processing. Groups need specific time to discuss how well they are achieving their goals and maintaining effective working relationships among members. Teachers structure group processing by assigning such tasks as (a) list at least three member actions that helped the group be successful and (b) list one action that could be added to make the group even more successful tomorrow. Teachers also monitor the groups and give feedback on how well the groups are working together to the groups and the class as a whole.3. Problems Existing in Oral English Teaching in Rural Junior Middle Schools The Standard of New English Curriculum requires junior middle school students to achieve their level in spoken English after graduation as follows: 1) on the subject of simple information, students can express simple views and opinions, participate in the discussion; 2) can communicate with others, cooperate with their group-mates to complete the task; 3) can be appropriately self-correcting in oral communication; 4) can ask information and ask for help effectively ; 5) can make situational dialogues according to the topic; 6) can perform skits in English; 7) can do oral English activities naturally. However, the traditional teaching focuses on reading and writing, as a result, oral English has been neglected for a long term. In recent years, this phenomenon has received widespread attention, and experts and scholars are doing research to solve it, but students are still poor at oral English. In addition, according to the authors own practice teaching experience, the author found that there are still problems in oral English teaching in rural junior middle schools.3.1 The Negative Influence of Traditional Teaching In rural ju
