In this session, you’ll try out some language practice tasks and games that go by the principles of Cooperative Learning (CL). The cooperative nature of these activities helps increase learner engagement and makes lessons more communicative as well as student-led. Moreover, CL caters to mixed-ability classes, builds social skills and boosts classroom dynamics.
