3. Conclusion
Through this thesis, the researcher hypothesized that if we are going to improve the students’ speaking proficiency in the classroom, we should provide them with more opportunities to get the practice they need to use the language and speak it fluently without any hesitation or fear of making any kind of mistakes. We believe that the present application of cooperative group work to the field of language learning is very important for promoting participation and communication in the EFL classes because it creates a situation where learners are expected to assist each other, to discuss and exchange ideas with each other.
