Abstract | Group activities are becoming more and more popular in the teaching of second/foreign languages and other subjects all over the world. Since about 1970, a great deal of work has gone into research and methodology in order to develop ways that teachers can help their students learn more effectively and happily in groups. Many people working in this area use the term "Cooperative Learning," (also known as "Collaborative Learning") to describe these ways of enhancing group learning. Since the late 1980s, ES/FL teachers interested in Cooperative Learning have come together to share ideas at the annual convention of the International TESOL organization. The 1995 convention was no exception. The four of us hosted a Breakfast Seminar at which fifty other teachers joined us to begin our day with good food and good discussion about important questions in using Cooperative Learning (CL) with our students. Below is a list of the questions we discussed and the responses we received. After the convention, we showed our list to others and added their responses. These included a class group of secondary school teachers from Singapore attending a course on Cooperative Learning at RELC. We have included everyone's responses, even when one response seemed to contradict a previous one. Each teacher must make their own decision based on their own particular teaching situation and their own beliefs about education. No doubt, you, our talented readers, will have some ideas we have not thought of. Please be so kind to write as to us and share them, so that we can share them with others. Thank you.
