The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in teaching English as a foreign language to a group of college freshmen in Taiwan. 110 freshmen (34 males and 76 females) who participated in this quasi-experimental study for three months. Two cooperative learning strategies, Jigsaw and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD), were implemented in the experimental group. In contrast, the control group was instructed using the traditional Grammar-Translation Method.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of cooperative learning strategies in teaching English as a foreign language to a group of college freshmen in Taiwan. 110 freshmen (34 males and 76 females) who participated in this quasi-experimental study for three months. Two cooperative learning strategies, Jigsaw and Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD), were implemented in the experimental group. In contrast, the control group was instructed using the traditional Grammar-Translation Method.
520 $a The instruments for data collection were two Tests of English for International Communication (TOEIC). One was used as the pretest and the other as the posttest In addition, a questionnaire was given to the experimental subjects to collect the data about their English learning and esteem. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS 10.00 for Windows. Multiple linear regression and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) were used to analyze all the collected data.
520 $a The results of this study show that after statistically adjusting for pretest scores, gender, motivation scores, and personality types, the experimental group outperformed the control group on the TOEIC reading scale (p < .01) and total scores (p < .05). After statistically adjusting for pretest scores, gender, motivation scores, and personality types, the experimental group has made more progress than the control group on the TOEIC reading scale with the p-value less than .01. In addition, an examination of the TOEIC total results and gender by method of instruction revealed that the presence of statistically significant differences between males and females (p < .05). Male subjects of the experimental group performed better than those of the control group (p < .05). Taiwan society tends to promote more competitiveness for males than females. However, according to the findings in this study, males perform better in a cooperative structure than in the traditional competitive structure.
520 $a Finally, pedagogical implications for the application of cooperative learning and suggestions for future studies were proposed.
