Abstract The present study presents a detailed report of a project implemented to solve the problem that many of my students have no interest in writing, and they are poor in it . It is hypothesized that the students’ writing ability can be improved by applying the cooperative learning method (CL) accordingly. This hypothesis is verified by a four-week practice of well organized writing activities. Methodologically, four methods are used, and they are analytic method, cause analysis, brainstorming activation and questionnaire survey. It is proved that cooperative group writing is effective in improving English writing teaching and learning. Main Headings of the Projec
