The role of cooperative learning on reading skill of EFL learners

This study approaches the effect of Cooperative Learning (CL) on reading proficiency. The experience of reading in the first and second languages can be very different. Often, we all have good abilities in reading in our mother tongue so that we subconsciously use all the necessary processes when reading. We apply our prior knowledge of the text, anticipate the text, ask questions about the text in our minds and seek answers to them, and much more. There are four basic skills in learning English: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Group work is one of the major activities for generating ideas and achieving the goals of any organization. It facilitates English Language Learning (ELL) more diverse and informative. Necessary research and studies in this field have revealed that group work works better in the classroom and makes learners more conscious towards the reading skill.
