In the Chinese vocational education system, students often lack interest in learning and have low classroom participation, which negatively affects their academic performance and career growth. This study examines the impact of group cooperative teaching on English learning interest among vocational school students, focusing on how it boosts engagement and participation. A survey of 100 students from a vocational school was conducted, with statistical analyses, including reliability and validity testing, performed using SPSS software. The results show that group cooperative teaching significantly enhances students' cognitive interest, emotional investment, and motivation. These methods improve the classroom atmosphere and increase interactive engagement. Group cooperation not only promotes teacher-student and peer interactions but also builds responsibility and teamwork through task-based cooperation. This approach enhances intrinsic motivation, language skills, and learning outcomes. The study advances research on the connection between group cooperation and English learning interest, supporting student-centered teaching models in vocational education.
