Facilitating Active Participation of EAL Students through Cooperative Learning Strategies

The High Impact Teaching Strategies (HITS) documents recommend collaborative learning, metacognitive strategies, and differentiated teaching as part of their ten research and evidence based inclusive teaching and learning approaches. Cooperative Learning strategies include the former three elements and encourage EAL students to become increasingly confident in participating actively in our classrooms.


We are preparing our students for jobs that may not yet exist. In today’s world, emotional intelligence and team work are highly sought after by employers. Cooperative learning strategies prepare our students to learn skills that will help them to work and contribute within a team.
