This is a very interesting topic. I suggest you go for the
following title:
"Co-operative Learning in the EFL classroom"
Or
"Co-operative Learning in the EFL classroom: a review
of the literature"
You can then structure your essay as follows:
Introduction: briefly what the essay is about
What is Co-operative learning: what do we mean by co-operative
learning,origin/theoretical underpinnings etc, models of co-operative
learning, empirical studies examining its effectiveness etc
The EFL classroom: particular characteristics of the EFL
classroom,
co-operative learning applications in the EFL class, empirical
studies
examining its effectiveness etc
Concluding section: you summarise your conclusions on the
basis of the literature review above and you outline your
recommendations for continuing or changing existing practices.
It is in this section that you can relate what you bread with
your own experiences if you want to.
As you can see, you need to carry out a thorough review of
the literature.
The best place to start is the electronic databases (BEI,
ERIC, Australian
Index etc)
Remember argue ,compare and evaluate ,do not just summarise.

)
