Resumen

Two groups of 71 students in courses 4-1 and 4-2 aged nine to 12 years old at “Institución Educativa Municipal Santa Barbara” were chosen in order to determine the influence of the implementation of cooperative language learning on the vocabulary retention of beginners. Both groups took a pretest and a post-test with the same procedure and content. However different teaching instructions were taken into account after the pretest in order to promote the students vocabulary retention. The first group (4-1) was considered as the control group where traditional instruction was provided by developing tasks individually; the second group functioned as the experimental group, where informal cooperative learning was implemented through think-pair-share activities. So, results were analyzed in the pre-test as well as in the post-test in both groups, control and experimental group and some differences found, were not so relevant to confirm a great influence of the cooperative language learning method on the vocabulary retention of the experimental group in contrast to the control group. Subsequently, it was showed that the implementation of both informal cooperative learning and traditional instruction through the use of tasks allowed increasing English vocabulary retention in students of courses 4-1 and 4-2 at “Institución Educativa Municipal Santa Barbara” in quite similar percentages.
