Résumé :	Most English as a foreign language (EFL) learners face difficulties to write their academic compositions. The pupils of El Katania middle school, as a sample of the Algerian middle school pupils, find many problems writing their paragraphs effectively. Some of these problems are: the misuse of grammar and mechanics rules, the limited number of vocabulary…etc. Because of that, they are almost complaining about their problems to write their English academic compositions. The present study aims at investigating the effects of using cooperative group work in teaching writing to 4th pupils of English as a foreign language. Thus, we hypothesize that the use of cooperative learning would enhance pupils’ writing. To verify the validity of this hypothesis, we have conducted an experimental study. Two tests have been administered to the pupils. One is used for asking pupils to write individually and another for asking them to write in groups. The experiment is carried out through the analysis and the comparison between the different errors that are found in both individual and group writing. The results of the 1st test show that pupils made a huge number of errors in different aspects of writing. In comparison with the results of the 2nd tests which show that the number of the pupils’ mistakes has decreased and there are some kinds of mistakes that have disappeared at all in the group productions. Through the comparison of both pupils’ individual and group writing, we can say that the use of cooperative learning has positive effects on the pupils’ writing. So, it can enhance their writing. The obtained results would guide as to provide some suggestions for the effective use of cooperative learning in the classrooms.
