            Cooperative learning is an approach that is based on natural human interactions in which s

            encouraged to divide roles, plan their work, divide subtasks, support each other, resolve 

            combine sub-results into a larger whole, evaluate the contribution of individual members, 
            approach, unfortunately, is still not commonly utilized in class even though different mod
            are commonly encountered outside school, especially at work. People work in pairs, in smal

            teams, meet at large social events and use various social ties to perform their work. We s
            mind that the classroom environment does not differ and cooperation between students shoul

            for exchanging knowledge and experience. Thanks to cooperative learning, we significantly 
            participation in class and help our students develop their core transversal competencies.


            During the workshop we will try to answer the following questions:

            • What is cooperative learning? What are its essential elements?

            • How to plan and support cooperative learning?
            • What are the most commonly used structures of cooperative learning?
            • How to form groups?


            If cooperative learning is something you would like to explore in greater detail, I will b
            to show you ways how to incorporate it into your lesson plan.


            The course is designed for those with English language proficiency at B2 level or above.
