AB  - Cooperative Language Learning (CLL) is 
an instructional
method that 
has had an impact on 
research literature
about education and teaching practice.  Cooperative learning (CL) is defined 
as 
“the instructional use of small groups through which students work together to maximize their 
own and each other’s learning” (Johnson, Johnson & Holubec, 1994, p. 4).  
CL meth
od is more 
than simply group work, which may not be cooperative in itself. Learning is dependent on the 
student
s
'
interaction, their accountability and motivation to increase their mutual learning 
outcomes (Olsen & Kagan, 1992, in Richards & Rogers, 2001).
This research project was 
focused on the use of CL to promote spoken English production in a group of ninth
-
grade 
students from the Isaias Hernan Ibarra public school, branch of Gabriela Mistral 
s
chool
in Cali, 
Colombia
