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

In today’s multilingual and culturally rich classrooms, English teaching must do more than deliver grammar and vocabulary, it must reflect who the learners are. This study explores how 25 English teachers from high schools and vocational schools in Batang Regency, Indonesia, bring life to their lessons by weaving together culturally responsive pedagogy, Multiple Intelligences (MI), and local wisdom. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research draws insights from interviews, classroom observations, and teaching materials to understand how teachers navigate diverse learning needs while honouring students’ cultural roots. The findings show that when local folklore, traditional arts, and community knowledge are combined with MI-based strategies like storytelling, music, movement, and peer collaboration students engage more deeply, express themselves more confidently, and feel a sense of pride in their identity. Even amid rigid curricula and limited resources, these teachers innovate from the ground up, turning their classrooms into inclusive spaces where learning becomes personal and meaningful. This study offers a fresh lens on what equitable English teaching can look like in postcolonial, multicultural contexts and reminds us that language learning is at its best when it connects not just to exams, but to who students truly are.
