Abstract
The current study aimed to find out English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ beliefs regarding the usefulness of corrective feedback (CF) in a cooperative learning (CL) environment. This study was a qualitative research design in which a narrative approach was used. The data were collected using interview questions as the research instrument. The researchers had a close observation, prepared notes, and made a record of interview responses from each student to explore and understand their beliefs towards CF provided by the instructors in the CL environment. The findings of this qualitative study revealed that EFL teachers get motivation and inspiration from EFL learners to give a suitable CL environment to second language learners which made the provided CF more effective. In the CL environment, the results indicate that EFL learners realised that they can find solutions to their problems in CL, and in their interviews, they stated that they would not be able to find solutions to their errors individually.
