Hello guys, I am a university student in the BEALS (bacc d'enseignement de l'anglais langue seconde) and in our pedagogy classes we talk a lot about cooperative learning. I am a bit conservative about that teaching method and it seems that everyone and every study conducted in the past few years highly praise CL (cooperative learning). However, I think it is not a perfect science and that the articles are too much focussed on the positive aspects of it while overlooking (or maybe avoiding) problematic areas...

So I suggest to have a little debate on the benefits and the disadvantages of cooperative learning.
