| Sumario: | This master's dissertation presents collaborative learning as an educational approach that may enhance every student's learning process in an EFL classroom in obligatory secondary education (ESO). Most students are not aware that during their school years they acquire skills that enable them to express themselves orally in a foreign language in a classroom activity. The aim of this paper is to promote collaborative group work activities as useful techniques for learning a foreign language, thus giving students the opportunity to engage in learning and reinforce oral participation while improving every student's language learning process. The activities proposed have been implemented in a 3rd year ESO students' classroom in a secondary school located in a working-class neighbourhood in Terrassa (Vallès Occidental). This research study has been built on direct observation, but it has also taken into account the 'reflection-on-action' model to enable us to observe how collaborative learning occurs with the aim to analyse the students' interaction throughout collaborative tasks performed in the classroom. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the value of collaborative learning activities as helpful ways of building the student as a competent EFL learner. |
