Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of collaborative learning and peer interaction in fostering language acquisition. It examines how structured group activities and mutual support enhance student engagement, communication skills, and overall language proficiency. Key findings highlight the positive impact on student motivation, confidence, and the development of communicative competence. Effective implementation necessitates well-designed tasks, clear roles, and ongoing teacher facilitation. The research emphasizes the importance of formative assessment and feedback to optimize collaborative learning experiences.
