Descrição
Resumo:This study seeks to investigate the impact of collaboration on written productions in the L2 in a high-complexity school situated in the Maresme area (Barcelona). In order to carry out the research, qualitative data has been used to draw a comparison between sixteen individual writings and four collaborative texts performed by 2nd ESO students, with a low command of English, during a 2-hour class session. Consisting of three phases, this analysis focuses first on the texts from an error point of view; then it observes the students' conversations during the collaborative task through video recordings, and, finally, it provides an overview of their perception based on a questionnaire administered after the two tasks. Findings show a significant improvement in the overall results in regard to language production and a positive attitude from the students towards collaboration, which should be further explored by teachers working in challenging contexts.
