Cooperative Language Learning: Increasing Opportunities for Learning in Teams
Wichadee, Saovapa; Orawiwatnakul, Wiwat
Journal of College Teaching & Learning, v9 n2 p93-100 2nd Qtr 2012
This paper conceptualizes cooperative language learning, group instruction which is under the learner-centered approach where the groups are formed in such a way that each member performs his or her task to achieve the goal. Previous research indicates that cooperative language learning doesn't only improve learners' language skills, but also create a supportive learning environment. A variety of learning activities is presented, offering new ideas to apply in EFL classes. Although cooperative-based learning produces positive outcomes, some awareness regarding learning process management is raised in order to avoid the problems that might occur during practice.
