| Sumario: | This study analyses whether students with better command of English help their peers during groupwork. The data was gathered by a student-teacher of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) during the internship in the Official Master's Degree in Teaching, offered by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Four groups of students of 2nd grade of compulsory secondary education from a state school in a locality near Barcelona were video recorded while doing a cooperative learning activity. Several excerpts were transcribed and interpreted through a content analysis of students' interaction as a way of observing the strategies they used to help their peers. A survey was also conducted among fifty students after the activity. The questionnaire contained six closed-ended and two open-ended questions, and it took around five minutes to answer. The former were analysed through descriptive statistics whereas qualitative content analysis was applied to the latter. |
