The findings show that cooperative learning tends to affect children's language learning especially on the enthusiasm, mastery of vocabulary, and the comprehension of oral communication. This is because cooperative learning supports children to socialize, encourages their self-esteem, provides chances for them to improve their vocabulary as well as sentence building, and develops their oral communication. However, some drawbacks have also been found. Cooperative learning tend to cause children to be dependent, the technique applied in an activity should consider children's learning style otherwise it will not work well, and some members dominate and other are ignored. As a conclusion, although there are some drawbacks in applying cooperative learning in class activities, the benefits are more. Cooperative learning seems to have influence on the increase of the learners' enthusiasm. The achievement of learning can improve if the enthusiasm of the learners is engaged.
