As a matter of fact, the cooperative learning method is considered one of the most effective student-centered learning methods used in teaching English language classes. It is an updated and effective pedagogic method that should be incorporated in classrooms. The previously reviewed studies showed that group work is better than individual work since student-centered learning methods may improve students’ knowledge of the language because of their effective cooperative engagement. This paper aims at investigating students' perceptions and attitudes towards the learning of global issues vocabulary using cooperative learning methods. The study employed a survey method research design where the quantitative data collection method was conducted. 25 participants are subjected to the intervention phase for seven weeks (40 hours) at MALI institute in Taiz, Yemen. Then a well-prepared questionnaire was conducted on the participants within a period of two days, immediately after the intervention phase. The descriptive statistic SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 25.0 was used to analyze data. Percentages were used for the questionnaire. The results from the questionnaire indicated that cooperative learning techniques had positive effects on students’ writing in classrooms. The participants gained confidence and their language skills were improved. Social skills like leadership, decision-making, trust-building, communication, and conflict-management skills were also developed. The study concludes that cooperative learning contributes to cognitive growth, increased autonomy, and productivity.

The cooperative learning method is a learning method that is said to be efficient and in line with the transformation of the education system nowadays. This method is a student-centered learning method that emphasizing social interaction and collaboration between students in order to achieve the learning outcomes. From the preliminary observations, it was found that the level of student achievement in the Mathematical Computing course at Muadzam Shah Polytechnic is quite alarming with the failure percentage up to 36.75%. Therefore, as a teaching and learning strategy to overcome this problem, cooperative learning methods are implemented on students who repeat the Mathematical Computing courses. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of cooperative learning methods on student achievement in this course. This study uses a quasi-experimental method consisting of two groups of respondents: each consisting of 20 students from the control group and the experimental group. A pre-test was given to test student achievement before treatment and a post-test were given to test the effectiveness of the treatment given. The analysis was made based on the percentage of student achievement for the experimental group and the control group. The findings of the study show that cooperative learning methods have been successful in improving student achievement in the course. This shows that cooperative learning methods in teaching and learning are effective and suitable to be used as an approach in the teaching and learning process of Mathematical Computing courses.
