Abstract:

Internet-based collaborative learning is a great aid to the language learning and has been a primary form of Web-supported instruction, but because of the complex online learning environment, it is not easy for the teachers to design and organize a highly effective Internet-based collaborative learning model. The empirical study in this paper aims to explore the effective and efficient process of carrying out the Internet-based collaborative learning. It is suggested that the whole process be divided into four phases and the four phases of the process be regularly evaluated to help the teachers to find the problems and accordingly perfected to help the students to achieve satisfying learning effects.
