| dc.description.abstract | A good mastery of the Writing Skill is an all important component in the learning process. It is essential for students of English as a foreign language. On this basis, the core of the present study is to investigate possible effects of implementing cooperative learning practices represented in the Learning Together Model on EFL studentsʹ writing abilities. The current investigation is built upon two hypotheses which are advanced in order to be tested throughout this research work. The researcher hypothesized that if cooperative practices were implemented in the right way, EFL learners would be able to enhance their writing proficiency level. In addition, it is hypothesized that if learners worked cooperatively and interact with each other, they would be able to achieve common academic goals. Two questionnaires were administered, one for teachers of Writing and the other for the targeted EFL students in the quasi- experiment. The findings of teacher questionnaire exhibited that teachers of Writing find out that cooperative learning is an effective method in boosting the performance of students in regard to writing. The data gathered from student questionnaire revealed that students can develop their writing abilities through working cooperatively, they presented positive behaviours towards working in cooperative teams whatever their abilities are. Thus, for the sake of digging deeply in the effect of Learning Together Model of cooperative learning, the researcher opted for a quasi-experimental study. She conducted an experiment in which the experimental group went through a treatment period, where students were instructed using the Learning Together Model of Cooperative Learning, whereas, students in the control group were instructed using traditional teaching method depending on individual work. The data analysis of the experiment revealed that there existed a critical difference in achievement between the experimental group and the control group essays. This difference is deduced after making a comparison of both groupsʹ performance in the assigned works and in the post-test assignment. | |
