For that purpose, the following hypotheses were established on the basis of the effectiveness of the cooperative learning in small groups.
Hypothesis 1 : Cooperative learning in small group will have a positive effect on the students' interest in English learning and 4 skills of English.
Hypothesis 2 : Cooperative learning in small group will help the students improve their listening and speaking ability in English.
Hypothesis 3 : Cooperative learning in small group will contribute to the students' learning achievement in English.
Subjects for the study were 120 students in the first grade of a high school in an agricultural area of Jeollabukdo. Sixty subjects as a target group (hereafter Group A) participated in the cooperative learning in small group, while another sixty subjects served as a control group (hereafter Group B) were involved in whole-class activities. Cooperative learning in small group was proceeded by student-centered and interactive methods, giving the subjects opportunities to perform language tasks.
The effect of cooperative learning in small group was examined in three areas : interest, listening and speaking ability and achievement tests in English.
Major results of the study are as follows:
