Abstract

This study investigates the evolution of English language skills through the use of collaborative learning. This approach encourages collaboration among students through communication-based exercises such as role-playing, group discussions, and presentations. According to the literature, students' confidence, fluency, and courage in speaking English are all effectively improved through collaborative learning. In addition, this method fosters a dynamic, engaging, and life-relevant learning environment. Therefore, collaborative learning can offer a way to overcome the challenges in teaching English language skills.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to conduct an analysis in the form of a case study of 5 short English stories from the American Literature Website. This research employs a qualitative approach, aiming to provide a rich description and insightful explanation and unfold through the collection of plot data, the classification of the plot data, the detailed description and elucidation, and the formulation of conclusions drawn from the insights gained from plot of stories. The research results show that among the five English short stories analyzed, four (80%) exhibit normal progressive plots, while one (20%) presents a distinctive deviation from this norm. Stories 1, 3, and 5 are crafted with normal progressive plots, ensuring a coherent sequence including exposition, trigger action, escalating action, climax, descending action, final action, resolution, and closing. Story 5 also uses a normal progressive plot, only it does not contain descending action, final action, and closing. In contrast, story 2 presents a divergent progressive plot, creating disjointed sequences and unnecessary repetition that may lead to confusion for readers who do not engage with the text attentively.
