Kagan Cooperative Learning has been

the most heavily cooperative learning
.innovation of all time
K.C.L is a teaching strategy raised by Dr. Spencer Kagan.

K. structures
??What are K.C structures  
Dr. Spencer Kagan believes that it is not what you“
have to teach, but how you teach it. He calls this
”.Kagan Structures

promote cooperation and

communication in the
classroom

boost students'
confidence

Retain their interest in

.classroom interaction
 Increasing the
amount of time
pupils spend on
task

Teach pupils skills, interaction Students are all

with others, turn talking, listening actively engaged in
to others’ views and sharing .learning
information

Give pupils the skills Minimize the

to work with others opportunity for pupils
and learn to become distracted
independently of the or disruptive

cooperation
#1
In pairs, students alternate
generating brief oral responses
Examples:
•Asking pupils to work in pairs:
1- Partner A reads his specified reading
paragraph and then asks Partner B a
comprehension question.
2- Partner B answers, if correct partner
B praises , Good Listening. If incorrect,
Partner A offers help. Then they switch
roles.
#3 In pairs, students share with a partner for
a predetermined time while the partner
listens. Then partners switch roles.
Examples:
1- At the beginning of each unit, teachers may
divide the whole class into two groups.
2- One group will get involved into a o discussion
about the topic, e.g: What do you predict this unit
will be about? They generate ideas of their own.
Each one should participate with words, phrases
or sentences.
3- The other group listens attentively then they
switch roles.
#3 In teams, students take turns responding orally
and written.

Examples:
1- When teachers revise pre-taught vocabulary, they can use this
technique.

2- Pupils are divided into number of circles. Each circle has a leader.

3- One participant respond to the teacher’s question either orally or

written ( Ideas, phrases, sentences).

4- Each pupil in the circle should participate with a single idea either
orally or written.

5- Each leader shares his group’s ideas with the other groups.
#4
Partners take turns, one solving a
problem while the other coaches.
Then partners switch roles. It is used
in ( grammar, vocabulary and
comprehension)
Examples:
1- It is a problem solving technique or a
young teacher one.
2- In pairs, one student is a “ solver” and
the other is a “ coach”.
3- They switch roles.
#5
Students stand up, put their hand up and
quickly find a partner with whom to share
or discuss.
1- This structure is perfect for class building,
processing and reviewing information,
energizing the class, forming random pairs or
teams, lesson starts or wraps.
2- It is a kind of “ Whole Brain Teaching”
.All students stand up and put their hands up .1
Students mingle, mix, practiced meeting and .2
greeting, and find a
