C. The Relationship Between Cooperative Language Learning CLL and
the Improvement of Speaking Skill
Cooperative learning is a variety of teaching learning approach in which students are divided to work in a group, help and criticize one another
efforts or contribution, and receive a group performance score. The primary role of learners in cooperative learning is as a member of a group who must
work collaboratively with another group member. In conducting teaching speaking, the teacher should conduct the
activities which involve real communication which are essential for language learning. Language is used for carrying out meaningful tasks that promote
learning because language that is meaningful to the learner supports the language process. Richards and Rodgers, 2001: 223
According to Crandall, 1999 and kagan, 1995 in Zhang cooperative language learning creates natural, interactive contexts, where students listen to
each other, ask question, and clarify issues. Group interaction assists learners in negotiating for more comprehensible input and in modifying their output to
make it more comprehensible to others. Jing Meng 2010 said that through cooperative learning method,
speaking activities can be highly motivated and students can be willing to open their mouth instead of being afraid of making mistakes in front of the
whole class. If teachers have set up the activity properly, and can give useful feedback, students will get tremendous satisfaction from it.

and through this way, students’ speaking skill can be improved since the purpose of cooperative learning itself is students interaction or to make
students talk.
