This paper reviews literature on the use of Cooperative Learning (CL) approach in language classrooms. Specifically, the paper aims to identify CL activities used in language classrooms in promoting learners’ oral skills. Past studies using both quantitative as well as qualitative research approaches were reviewed, and ten CL activities explored by researchers to facilitate learners’ oral skills were identified. Findings from the studies reviewed show promising results. Following that, this paper further presents how these ten CL activities can be used by language practitioners in their language classrooms to promote their learners’ oral skills.
