    This research study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Group Investigation Cooperative learning model on developing secondary school pupils' project oral performances and achievements. Furthermore, it measured the effect of the Group Investigation Technique on the pupils' attitudes towards English projects. We hypothesize that using Group Investigation model when teaching projects to EFL pupils will have a positive effect on their project oral presentations. The researcher adopted a mixed-method, quasi-experimental and descriptive research to answer the study questions. Two groups of second-year scientific stream pupils from Elhachemi Bouzidi Secondary School were chosen. Both groups (CG and Exp. G) consisted of twenty-one (21) pupils. Group Investigation was used in teaching the experimental group, while the traditional method was used with the control one during the first and second terms of the school year (2019-2020). The tools included pre-post achievement tests, teachers' and pupils' questionnaires, an interview with the inspector of National Education, and an attitude scale to determine the pupils' attitudes towards the Group Investigation model. The data gathered were statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The researcher also used Cronbach's Alpha and Split-half (Spearman-Brown and Guttman) techniques to measure the reliability of the project oral presentation assessment rubric and the pupils' attitude scale, independent samples T-test, Paired Sample T-test, and One sample T-test to analyze the gathered data. The study results revealed statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the pupils' project oral presentation pre-post tests in favor of the experimental group. Such findings were attributed to the use of the Group Investigation model in teaching English projects. Considering the positive impact that the results showed, we recommend using Group Investigation Cooperative Learning Model to develop English language different skills and areas, especially at the university level. Moreover, we recommend using the same strategy to improve the teaching/ learning of other school subjects.
