ABSTRACT

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of learner-centered cooperative learning in enhancing Korean college students’ English proficiency. The study also examined how cooperative learning facilitates Korean EFL learners’ self-efficacy. This study mainly employed a quantitative research method although qualitative research data were also analyzed to provide more in-depth insight into the findings; that is, research data included English proficiency test scores, survey responses, and interview descriptions. The findings of this study revealed that learner-centered cooperative learning was effective in enhancing Korean college students’ English proficiency, but it did not have an influence on the students’ self-efficacy. In addition, Korean college students had very positive attitudes to the learner-centered cooperative learning. The findings are discussed and implications for pedagogy are suggested
