Abstract

Collaborative learning (CL) is a learning approach that emphasizes activities that are focused on the students. Interdependence, social behavior, cognitive development, and social psychology views may all be used to explain its effectiveness. The systematic review's purpose is to investigate effective influencing elements on CL insight from a social psychology perspective. The research was evaluated using a qualitative technique and then thematically analyzed. The findings break down the success of CL interactions into three categories: social cognition, social conduct, and connections. The social-psychological aspects of collaborative learning, according to our research, have also become an important component included in curricular practices. As a consequence, starting with pre-service and building on it with teacher professional development would be better. We suggest that in the twenty-first century, collaboration, rather than rivalry, is a power to survive, and vice versa.

Abstract

Collaborative learning (CL) is relatively a novel approach applied in teaching speaking at the context of English as a foreign language (EFL). Statistically, even if CL has widely been investigated in the field of language teaching, it is still rarely found articles discussing CL issues related to social-psychological perspective. Therefore, this study has the purpose of investigating the variables that influence and are encountered by the student's speaking abilities during cooperation. Five students were used in the research in order to conduct an interview. They were deliberately chosen from their peers because they spoke English the best. Information was acquired through an online interview via the use of the WhatsApp calling app. Additionally, the ATLAS.ti application was used to evaluate the collected data. The results showed that 25 sub-dimensions and three major dimensions: social cognition, relationships, and social behavior significantly affected students' speaking abilities in EFL. The curriculum creator is advised to include social psychology into the English language instruction curriculum nevertheless. It suggests a classroom experiment with planned and unplanned speaking performances for further research.

Abstract

The objective of this qualitative case study is to investigate BSD issues, solutions, and collaborative learning approaches in EFL courses. As part of a case study, researchers examined the design and gathered information through open-ended interviews, documents, digital recorders, forum group discussions (FGD), and pertinent literature. All the gathered data were examined through exploration. Accordingly, the FGD forum was used to its fullest potential during the data analysis process for cross-checking, validation, verification, and confirmation. Teachers used pre-teaching (planning), cooperation (observing, supporting, and consolidating), reflection, and evaluations to achieve their goals. In this way, teachers encounter issues such as (1) choosing topics based on what students already know, (2) lack of group cohesion, (3) distinction between group and individual assessment, (4) lack of constructive interdependence, (5) variety of learning styles, and (6) inactivity. More research will be required in the future, as the study only examined a limited sample of people. There are recommendations for future experimental language lab classes. Blended EFL classes typically require the construction of an EFL curriculum through collaboration and technology, based on spontaneous speech activities, to ensure students' preparation before and after their participation.
