Item The effects of cooperative learning activities on tenth-grade student´s willingness to communicate(Universidad de Concepción., 2022) Aedo Castro, Fernanda Carolina; Carrasco Drago, Tiare Scarlett; Hernández Núñez, Tamara Teresa; Díaz Vargas, Caterin AlejandraThis study brings together the fields of willingness to communicate, English as a foreign language, and cooperative learning activities to create an optimal communicative classroom environment. Thus, within the existing literature, it is stated that cooperative learning activities may assist students in increasing their willingness to communicate. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of cooperative learning activities on 10th grade students’ willingness to communicate in English as a foreign language. To achieve the objectives of the research, 6 cooperative activities were implemented, apart from an observation journal, and two surveys conducted before and after the interventions to measure the participant’s willingness to communicate. The findings of the research showed that there was a minimum level of improvement in the students’ willingness to communicate after engaging with cooperative activities. However, the implementation of a cooperative learning approach in the classroom proved to ameliorate students’ perception towards the English language.
