The main purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of TOEIC reading comprehension classes utilizing a study group in enhancing Korean college learners’TOEIC reading comprehension and vocabulary learning. The study also examined the learners’ perceptions towards participation, efficacy, and satisfaction for the cooperative study group activities. 106 Korean EFL learners were divided into two groups and invited to participate in the cooperative study group and independent study as outside-class activities for a semester. Both pre and post mock TOEIC tests and online vocabulary quizzes were employed. Questionnaires were administered at the end of the semester. The findings indicated there were statistically significant differences between the cooperative study and the independent study groups in the post TOEIC test and the quizzes. In addition, the results revealed statistically significant differences in favor of the cooperative study group on the affective domains. Pedagogical implications are discussed and recommendations for further research are suggested.
