I had not considered the group need for competition and how this "cooperative competition" works to unite the group. I can think of several examples of a unifying goal creating a cooperative spirit and support among members. Most of us have seen our favorite sports teams work together for a goal and with such inspirational results. Some of us have even teared up at these results. In the classroom, I can see this type of competitive cooperation as well. Each group wants to have the best presentation or work and receive praise from the teacher! I believe in your business English courses this competitive spirit is very prevalent. You may also have a training topic for companies that may make the mistake in having individuals compete amongst each other rather than having the group compete as a whole with better results. In the classroom, this outlook is further support for Web 2.0 learning and students working in cooperative groups. Thanks for sharing your insightful comments and your support! Hello Karenne,
