Cooperation upgraded your English proficiency immediately in a win-win
way. In my learning experience, I usually used interlanguage to explain my
meaning and then I used cooperation strategy to ask the others if they knew
what the correct word was. Sometimes, I would be able to learn a new word
promptly. From my learning experience, I believed that the interlanguage
should be applied with the “cooperation” strategy in order to achieve the
purposes of accurate expressing and aggressive learning.
Jian Guo believed that the application of the cooperation strategy should contribute
to the international trade for Taiwan:
Cooperation strategy had to be applied, especially when you were talking to
the foreigners. Nowadays, there are a lot of foreigners coming to Taiwan do
different things. Communication with people outside of Taiwan becomes very
common. Since there are so many Taiwanese people doing business with
foreigners, we have to appeal for their assistance whenever encountering any
vague information they convey to us.
Jian Guo told the researchers why he could use the cooperation strategy very
well after learning the strategy. Jian Guo said it was because of the influences he
received from his parents and from teachers. Jian Guo was taught to get along well
with his brothers, sisters, and classmates. Jian Guo also imitated his parents’ and
teachers’ cooperative social forms, and learned how to compromise with the others.
