Which learning style do you think would be more effective when working with ELL students? Cooperative learning or Interactive learning? How would you use these two learning styles when working with ESL students?

Cooperative learning means structuring classes around small groups that work together. I'd push my students to do more than just physically be near other students but prompt them to discuss material and share with their peers. Their not meant to be used for the whole period so I'd use them for simply 5 minutes in a class exercise or as a project. A downfall of this form is that each student is reliant on the group's success, you could end up with one student doing all the work while others just put their name on it.
Interactive learning is a method i think is more effective with ELLs and students in general. It's a measureable assessment where teachers are better equipped to acess how well students understand the material. It keeps students engaged because their actively participating in the task and can build their confidence in the subject.
