THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COOPERATIVE LEARNING AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN ENGLISH

This thesis is completed with the assistance of many individuals. Without their generous and expert help, insightful comments and continuous encouragement, I would not have been able to complete my research and thesis. First of all, I would like to express my deepest and sincerest thanks to my advisor, Daniel Leitch, PhD, for his great help, considerable patience and understanding. He gave me so many constructive suggestions on how to conduct the research. My warmest and heartfelt thanks also go to Prof. Tom Lo Gudice, Regina Pauly and Charlene Ingebritsen. All of them gave me some good suggestions on the topics in the thesis. Especially, Prof. Regina Pauly gave me professional instructions in search of library resources. At last, I thank my dear friends in this cohort who have been concerned and supportive. Without the support, assistance and encouragement given to me by all these people, this seminar paper would have not been completed
