It is characterized with learner-centre and group work,the subject evaluation which takes formative assessment as a main method in order to promote the enthusiasm and initiatives of students' learning as well as improve the teaching effect. The research shows that Self-assessment improves Ss' independent learning skills,peer assessment group work help students in active learning,self-and peer assessment motivate students' English learning. In a comparison of other classes which aren't involved in this innovation,the group of freshmen know better about their learning outcome in an objective manner and can improve their method of English learning. Over all,the project can train students' ability to solve problems independently,and raise their language communicative competence gradually.展开更多
