Abstract

Collaborative learning has been adopted as a teaching technique in ESL classes in last three decades. Teachers use CL based on recommendations of researchers and linguists who wrote very positive feedback on the same. Students’ attitudes and feedback to collaborative learning, i.e. group work are highly crucial to determine an aspect of success in the teaching-learning process. This research is an attempt to investigate the attitudes of students towards group work activities they perform in English language classrooms.
