Abstract	This review of research on cooperative learning examines 19 journal articles and 5 microfiche documents that explicitly focus on the strategy as it applies to the instruction of English in the secondary grades. Observation of students, audio taping and analyzing student group conversations, and interviews with students and teachers are the methods of research most frequently employed. Case studies of individual classrooms and commentary from practicing teachers dominate the literature. In general, investigators distinctly favor the strategy as a successful method. Several sources that voice concerns or opposition to the majority are included but they are exceptions in the field. Although very little experimental research exists, that which does exist provides quality insight into the factors involved in successful implementation of the strategy. Great effort has been made to include the findings of the few empirical studies, specific to this strategies implementation, in the secondary English classroom. Contains 24 references. (Author)
