| Abstract: | This paper reports a quasi-experimental, action-research study on the use of cooperative learning to enhance listening comprehension skills in English at an English teacher education program in Chile. The study aimed to improve fourth-year students' advanced listening competencies by incorporating a series of cooperative listening activities over one semester. Data were gathered through a pre-test at the beginning and a post-test at the end of the intervention. The action-research component guided the design, implementation, and reflection on the cooperative strategies used. Results showed that students in the experimental group strengthened their listening skills compared to their pre-test performance and outperformed students in the control group. The findings suggest that cooperative learning can effectively improve advanced learners' listening skills. |
