Cooperative Language LearningZhang Kun1Cooperative Language LearningZBackground?Cooperative Language Learning(CLL)is part of a more general instructional approach also known as Collaborative Learning(CL).?Cooperative Learning is an approach to teaching that makes maximum use of cooperative activities involving pairs and small groups of learners in the classroom.2Background?Cooperative Languag?Traditional models of classroom learning are teacher-fronted,foster competition rather than cooperation,and favor majority students.?CLL has been embraced as a way of promoting communicative interaction in the classroom and is seen as an extension of the principles of Communicative Language Teaching.It is learner-centered.3?Traditional models of classroApproachTheory of language?Cooperative Language Learning is founded on 5 basic premises about the interactive nature of language.?Premise 1 is that we are born to talk and communication is considered as the primary purpose of language.4ApproachTheory of language?Coo?Premise 2 is that most talk is organized as conversation.?Premise 3 is that conversation operates according to a certain agreed-upon set of cooperative rules or“maxims”(Grices Cooperative Principle).?Premise 4 is that one learns how these cooperative maxims are realized in ones native language through casual,everyday conversational interaction.5?Premise 2 is that most talk i?Premise 5 is that one learns how the maxims are realized in a second language through participation in cooperatively structured interactional activities.6?Premise 5 is that one learns Theory of learning?Cooperative learning advocates draw on the theoretical work of developmental psychologists Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky,both of whom stress the central role of social interaction in learning.?As we have indicated,a central premise of CLL is that learners develop communicative competence in a language by conversing in socially or pedagogically structured situations.7Theory of learning?Cooperative?CLL seeks to develop classrooms that foster cooperation rather than competition in learning.Within cooperative situations,individuals seek outcomes beneficial to themselves and all other group members.It is contrasted with competitive learning in which students work against each other to achieve an academic goal such as a grade of“A”.8?CLL seeks to develop classrooDesignObjectives?To foster cooperation rather than competition?To develop critical thinking skills?To develop communicative competence

differs largely from that of teachers in traditional teacher-fronted lesson.?The teacher has to create a highly structured and well-organized learning environment by setting goals,planning and structuring tasks,establishing the physical arrangement of the classroom,assigning students to groups and roles and selecting materials and time.15Teacher roles?The role of the?Teachers speak less
