Abstract
This research study entitled“Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning in Error Reduction”was an attempt to find out the role of cooperative learning to reduce the errors of the learners. This study was conducted in L.B Namuna English Boarding School of Rupandehi district. The students of grade nine were purposively selected as the sample for the experiment in this study. A pre-test was administered before starting teaching. The students were taught about four weeks using cooperative language method. Finally, a post-test was administered to determine the errors of the learners. The scores from pre-test and post-test were compared to each other and the data were analyzed using statistical tools like average, percentage, mean and they were presented using paraorthagraphical modes like tables and figures. After the interpretation and analysis of data, it was found that the cooperative language learning method played considerable role to reduce the errors of the learners. The learners committed errors in pretest but as the result of co-operative learning practice the number of error decreased in post test.
