Cooperative education is a modern method of education that does not depend on traditional methods such as chalkboards and blackboards, as it uses the method of participation among students in discussion by sitting among them in heterogeneous groups, and each student presents his ideas and point of view to everyone, so that each individual benefits from the other in thinking and arriving at solutions. And the results. Cooperative learning has the greatest impact in enhancing the student’s educational process, as it is one of the strategies that supports learning in groups. These groups range between 4-5 students per group to facilitate the process of interaction and discussion. This study aims to highlight the educational aspect in treating teaching languages as a second language in general and teaching the Arabic language to non-native speakers in particular, highlighting the necessity of learning the Arabic language to non-Arabic speakers, encouraging non-Arabic speakers to learn Arabic through various means, and developing the linguistic wealth of the learners. Deepening it and acquiring the skill of learning the Arabic language through various practices. Specialists in teaching the Arabic language have prepared programs and courses to teach the Arabic language to non-native speakers, and modern trends have emerged in teaching the Arabic language. The researcher wanted to present a model of these trends through a cooperative learning strategy. The researcher used the approach of reviewing, studying, and analyzing the literature related to the subject. The study concluded that this strategy helps to create a social environment that encourages the non-social student to participate, creates an atmosphere of discussion and presents different opinions on the same topic, helps develop the speaking skill through group discussion and increases the student’s level of achievement. In this regard, the researcher suggested preparing classrooms and classrooms to suit teaching this strategy, and training and qualifying teachers and refining their abilities to implement it correctly.
