Abstract

Collaborative learning in high school English education is an approach aimed at enhancing student engagement, communication skills, and independent learning through cooperation. This study aims to describe the implementation, benefits, and challenges of collaborative learning in English classrooms. This study employs a qualitative approach using interviews, with a high school English teacher as the participant. The results indicate that collaborative learning offers social, psychological, and academic benefits, such as improved cooperation, self-confidence, and speaking and listening skills through the Think-Pair-Share and Jigsaw techniques, while also encouraging the teacher’s role as a facilitator. Additionally, this approach helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through active interaction with peers. However, its implementation faces challenges such as time management, uneven participation, and managing group dynamics. These challenges can be addressed through structured role assignments, the formation of heterogeneous groups, and active monitoring by the teacher, so that collaborative learning can be effectively implemented in high schools and contribute to creating a more interactive and meaningful learning environment.
