The aim of this study is to identify the effectiveness of cooperative learning in learning Arabic literature at a public university in Malaysia. The quantitative research approach, specifically a quasi-experimental design were employed. The purposive sampling technique was used involving 56 Arabic Literature students. The students were divided into two groups namely a control group that was taught using conventional learning strategies and a treatment group that was taught using cooperative learning strategies for six weeks. The scores of the students were analysed descriptively. Findings showed there was an increment in students' achievement in the treatment group with a mean score of (67.29) compared to the control group with a mean score of (49.21). Based on the findings it can be concluded that cooperative learning could be helpful in helping students to learn Arabic Literature.
