Hypothesis
1- Effective group work in the context of education involves
making students get several opportunities to use the target language. During
group work, students have more opportunities to discuss among themselves, share
their ideas, practice more the language.
2- Students are aware of the positive belief towards group
work language learning technique. EFL teachers promote motivational activities
to encourage learners to take the floor during group work activity.
3- Group work is an effective method to motivate
students,encourage active learning, and develop key critical thinking,
communication, group work technique leads to a better achievement in
communicative competence.
1.6 The Scope of the Study
My research population for this research is restricted to EFL
teachers and intermediate,and post students of CEG Sodohomè (Bohicon),
Zou region. I focused on intermediate and post learners because I thought they
have already experenced the group work for at least two years and could have
something to say about it. Therefore, my different findings could not be
generalised to a wider population within Beninese country unless similar
characteristics exist. That is to say, research on the other population would
probably reveal different findings. Another restriction is that my findings
belong only to Benin. It could never be generalised to other EFL settings.
The following chapter deals with the literature review.
Let us consider it.
