This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the Jigsaw cooperative learning strategy in developing Arabic language skills among students of the College of Education at Kuwait University. To achieve the study’s objectives, both the descriptive analytical method and the experimental method based on the design of two groups (experimental and control) were used. The data collection tool was an achievement test, applied to a sample of 138 female students from the College of Education at Kuwait University, with 70 in the control group and 68 in the experimental group. The study variables were the Jigsaw strategy (independent variable) and Arabic language skills (dependent variable). The study concluded with several findings, most notably the presence of a statistically significant difference at the significance level (α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of students in the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the achievement test in Arabic language skills, in favor of the experimental group that used the Jigsaw strategy. The results also indicated that this strategy had a significant impact on improving the Arabic language skills of the learners. The study made several recommendations, the most important of which are: 1. Teachers should be informed about the importance and benefits of the Jigsaw strategy for teaching Arabic and encouraged to use it.
