Abstract

The paper focuses on the role of group work in the foreign language class as an effective technique for developing language learners’ analytical thinking, as well as communication skills. The paper states that despite the cognitive, psychological and social benefits that group work provides, it is hardly ever used in the Armenian formal educational setting where the whole studying process is teacher-centered rather than learning-centered. The authors strongly believe that implementing group work into the Armenian educational establishments will stimulate effective learning and teaching. Group work will provide Armenian EFL students with opportunities for developing skills like organization, negotiation, team work and co-operation which they very often lack.
