Abstract

Cooperative leaning stresses the learner-centered class, in which the teacher plays the role of director, supervisor and helper and students help each other to study some materials and can be rewarded for the achievements or performances of the entire group. This research aims to explore the effects of the application of cooperative learning on students' writing abilities and attitude in English writing. The author chooses two classes with 102 students as the participants from a university in the northeast of China. One class is randomly selected as the control class, while the other is chosen as the experimental class. The control class is adapted with traditional approach. Cooperative writing approach is applied in experimental class. The research attempts to find out cooperative learning can help students arouse their interest towards writing and it can help improve students' writing competence.
