Abstract
This paper is a result of a strong interest in the methodology of Cooperative Learning (CL) which the author learned about during the Master ITALS at Venetian University Ca' Foscari (2006/2007). The paper highlights the CL, the basic requirements for its functioning, introducing at the same time an example of how to teach successfully the social skills which cannot be taken for granted, nowdays. Furhermore, it presents pros and cons for the implementing of CL by Spencer Kagan, one of its founders. The CL is not still sufficiently known and used among the Croatian teachers. The current situation and the perspectives of CL in Croatia have been highlighted too, pointing out the role of the leading organization in that field Korak po Korak. So far it has made a lot in promotion of this methodology which puts a student in the center of the learning process and not a subject of teaching.
