Résumé:
The foremost target behind conducting this study is to investigate students' and teachers'
attitudes and perspectives towards the use and implementation of the cooperative learning
method in enhancing the writing skill, and to determine whether the writing skill can be
enhanced through the use of the cooperative learning method. Accordingly, the dissertation
in hand exposes general issues related to cooperative learning and the writing skill. For the
purpose of verifying the validity of the research hypothesis which states that learners and
teachers would report more positive attitudes and perspectives if they appropriately used
cooperative writing tasks, a descriptive research design was implemented in which two
questionnaires were administered. The first questionnaire was directed to forty second year
students at Belhouchet Cherif secondary school. While the second one was delivered to
twenty teachers of English from five various secondary schools. The obtained results
confirmed the research's hypothesis and demonstrated that both teachers and students have
positive attitudes and perceptions toward the use of cooperative learning groups and
consider it as an effective method that enhances the writing skill
