Abstrak:
This article explores the impact of small-group cooperative interactions on the development of oral fluency among EFL learners. The study highlights how structured group tasks, peer collaboration, and interactive speaking activities contribute to increased learner confidence, improved speaking accuracy, and enhanced communication fluency. The research also examines the role of group dynamics, student participation, and supportive learning environments in fostering effective speaking practice. The findings demonstrate that small-group cooperative learning not only encourages active engagement but also provides learners with meaningful opportunities to use English in real communicative situations, ultimately leading to measurable improvement in oral fluency.
