Learning to Learn Cooperatively by Anne Hammond Byrd

Working in groups is a very good way to develop a lot of things in our students.
Responsiblity, cooperation, ability to create strategies in groups, but if we really want this to become true
we have to teach them how work cooperatively.
Cooperative learning is time consuming but when working together with other students, learners will increase their communication ability and proficiency in the language. More than learning the language itself it's very important to have fun in the class, so it's vital that not only prepare classes that are meaningful but also take into consideration that this knowledge is socially constructed.
