Cooperative learning – one of foreign language – learning strategies

Abstract

Over the past 10 years there has been a revival of interest among ESL/EFL teachers in using cooperative-learning activities. With cooperative learning students work together in groups of two to six. However, cooperative learning is more than just putting students into groups and giving them something to do. Cooperative-learning principles and techniques are tools that teachers can use to encourage mutual help and active participation of all group members.
