Abstract
This study investigates the effect of cooperative learning using a web café in a college EFL context. The researcher worked with two teachers for 15 weeks. There were 28 students in the control group and 32 students in the experimental group. The data were collected through the teacher journal, students’ achievement tests, survey questionnaires, classroom observations, focus group interviews, and the web content on the café. The results showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the students’ mid-term and final test scores. However, though the students valued of cooperative work and frequent sharing of learning materials both in class and on the web café, they were more concerned with completing the task and manifested parallel patterns in their work. The teacher also acknowledged the difficulty of managing the students, lesson content, and classroom activities within time. Accordingly, the use of cooperative classroom activity or technology does not necessarily guarantee ‘successful teaching and learning’ unless both the teacher and students have substantial experiences in cooperative work and the use of technology both. Some insightful pedagogical suggestions are also presented for those who use and want to use a more technology-based cooperative approach of teaching EFL.
