CLT has been widely adopted for several decades. However, there are still some limitations remaining unsolved. After the intervention of CL and web-based learning, these limitations are broken. After discussion of the relationship among the three, the factors directly intervened into a cooperative learning activity have been discussed. They are the teacher’s intervention, computer technology, and students’ cooperation. Then, the criteria of examining a cooperative language learning activity in web-based environment have been generated. They include basic information of the activity, criteria of cooperative learning, intervention of computer technology, teacher’s intervention, and criteria of communicative language teaching. These criteria are used to examine certain useful cooperative language learning activities in web-based environment. After the examination, some suggestions are presented for those teachers who would like to use these activities in the language teaching.
