Abstract

Academic writing is a central competency in higher education, yet many students struggle to meet the demands of disciplinary courses, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Collaborative learning, grounded in social constructivist theory, has emerged as a promising pedagogical approach to enhance writing development by fostering interaction, peer feedback, and shared knowledge construction. This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025 that examine the implementation of collaborative learning in higher education settings. This study aims to determine the implementation of collaborative learning in EFL writing classroom (benefits and challenges) using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The SLR method is employed to rigorously identify, examine, evaluate, and interpret the body of existing research concerning a specified phenomenon, guided by clearly defined research questions. This approach enables the systemic identification of relevant scholarly works, with each phase conducted in accordance with predetermined, standardized procedures or protocols. The results indicate that collaborative learning in EFL writing instruction in higher education context boosts organization, grammar, vocabulary richness, fluency, and the ability to structure idea effectively. The students feel more motivated, confident, and less anxious, aligning with the social constructivist view that deeper language development emerges through interaction, meaning negotiation, and collaborative problem solving.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in using compound-complex sentences in their writing. The research aims to shed light on the difficulties encountered by EFL students when combining independent and dependent clauses with coordinating conjunctions to form compound-complex sentences. The study also explores the impact of mastering compound-complex sentences on EFL students' comprehension of literature texts. Through a mixed-method approach, including tests and interviews, the research analyzes the performance of EFL students in organizing complex and compound sentences and their ability to convert compound sentences into compound-complex ones. The findings reveal the obstacles EFL students encounter in structuring sentences and developing ideas in paragraphs, particularly when attempting to use compound-complex sentences. The study underscores the importance of sentence structure in effective writing and its influence on text clarity, coherence, and overall impact. The implications of this research extend to teaching and learning strategies in EFL classrooms, aiming to enhance students' writing capabilities and comprehension of literature texts.

Abstract

This research aims to identify whether students’ background knowledge influenced the translated texts from the source language (SL) into the target language (TL). This research employs descriptive qualitative method design throught the use of semi-structured interviews and observation in one of the state universities in east Indonesia. The participants in this research included 30 students. The documents as students' target texts were used as primary data and the transcripts of semi-structured interviews were used as supporting data. To Analyse the data, the researchers used qualitative ways. Data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification were used to reveal students’ background knowledge of translation. The data showed that most of the students need background knowledge in the translation of source language into the target language. These reasons confirm that there is a close relationship between background knowledge and translation. It means that in an interlingual translation, even if translators are bilinguals and master the grammar of a language, background knowledge of a text should also be dominated. Moreover, background knowledge is not a single problem for translators, there are also other problems that were found in students’ translation namely new words, complex sentences, reading comprehension, and expression in the target language.

Abstract

The objective of this study is evaluating students’ competence in using adjective phrases in English writing. The objectives include assessing competence, identifying challenges/errors, and exploring influencing factors. This study applied a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative questionnaires and qualitative analysis of writing samples, the research unveils varying levels of competence and error patterns. The findings show that students demonstrated a fairly good understanding of adjective phrases, attributive adjectives, and predicative adjectives. However, it was observed that, based on the types of adjective phrases, most students exhibited a better understanding of adjective phrases compared to attributive and predicative adjectives. The results of this analysis provide valuable insights in detailing specific aspects of the curriculum that may need to be strengthened or adjusted to improve student understanding. Overall, an in-depth understanding of the results of the analysis of student performance can provide a solid foundation for the development of more effective learning strategies and better customization of the curriculum according to student needs.
