Abstract

Co-operative learning approaches in the field of language teaching have been receiving increased attention in recent years. The present paper begins by sketching the parameters of the recent developments in co-operative learning, including discussion of the main figures in the movement, different types of co-operative learning techniques, and various ways of structuring the activities and the learning environment. The discussion then moves to a more theoretical level in which the nature of co-operative learning and the rationale for its existence are examined. As is the case with most innovations, objections have been raised against perceived weaknesses of co-operative learning; the latter part of this study anticipates these objections and provides responses to them.
