Abstract: Academic writing is considered as one of the most challenging skills for Bhutanese school students who take English as a second language (ESL). Academic writing ability is a mandatory skill for all the students in Bhutan. Consequently, many teaching strategies have been implemented to improve students writing skill. Since 2015 the Ministry of Education Royal Government of Bhutan has introduced the use of cooperative language learning (CLL) to improve language teaching and learning. Despite the continued effort to improve students writing skill, their writing proficiency is still considered at poor level. The factors contribute to this poor proficiency result are teachers, students, and the system. This study, therefore, attempts to reintroduce the use of CLL strategies with the use of think pair share and group investigation activities to enhance students’ English writing skill. There were two main aims of this study: (1) to examine the impact of the integration of CLL into L2 writing on students’ writing skill; and (2) to identify student’s perceptions towards the integration of CLL into L2 writing practice. The study involves 40 ESL students from 12th grades, and multiple drafts were used as the research samples. The implementation of CLL integrated into ESL writing and data collection took six hours in four weeks. The questionnaires and semi-structured interview were used to check student’s perception towards the practice of CLL in ESL writing classes. The results showed that students’ writing average score has increased from 15.70 to 20 and most of the students gave positive feedback on the use of CLL as a part of their writing activities. The feedbacks from the students interview found out that CLL needed more resources, time and professional trainings for the teachers.
