The Implementation of Cooperative Learning in the Engineering English through Contextual Learning

Abstract

The Engineering English is a learning material that is relatively difficult to understand by students. However, it can be more fun and easily understood by the student if the learning process is processed properly or find the right method. The Engineering English educators need to continue to explore the techniques of new pedagogical methods to inform and expand a student thinking in the classroom. The method that considered to achieve the goal of learning is contextual learning. The Contextual learning is intended to be more cooperative nature of the material presented by the educator. The purpose of the implementation of cooperative learning through contextual learning is to create opportunities for constructing and exploring insight learning, not only receive a knowledge. This method offers the techniques for Engineering English educators to produce students who are more creative, critical thinking, and to develop an extensive knowledge. This paper provides an overview of contextual learning and how to plan interventions to student learning result.
