Developing Collaborative Academic Writing Skills in English in Call Classroom

Abstract

The modern system of foreign language teaching impacts a qualitative change in the new methodological approaches with using innovative technologies in the educational process. Spencer Kagan created Cooperative learning structures that make collaborative learning easy to use. It provides students with valuable and ample opportunities to combine language resources and collaboratively build knowledge and writing through interaction. Cooperative learning methods do not require a detailed study of plans, educational materials, and special training. Hence the article depicts University students' implementation of collaborative academic writing skills in a Computer-assisted Language Learning environment. Collaborative writing is interpreted as an action in which students communicate, consult, and make collective decisions during the writing process through computer and create a unique text with shared accountability and co-ownership. In this paper, the crucial types of academic writings are highlighted, and experimental teaching results have proved Kagan's collaborative model as a useful technique for improving students' academic writing skills.

“…Varios estudios subrayan los beneficios significativos de tales enfoques para el desarrollo de habilidades de pensamiento de orden superior (Poudel, 2021), la mejora del compromiso del alumno (Byun et al, 2020) y el fomento de la equidad en la distribución de la carga de trabajo (Kuwabara et al, 2020).

Sin embargo, algunos estudios sugieren que el éxito de las estrategias de aprendizaje colaborativo puede depender en gran medida del diseño de la tarea (Acuna et al, 2018), de la cultura organizativa (Camacho et al, 2018), y del uso efectivo de la tecnología (Poudel, 2022).…”

“…Salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat memfasilitasi terciptanya kolaborasi antar mahasiswa diantaranya yaitu model pembelajaran kooperatif.

Model pembelajaran kooperatif yang diterapkan pada kelompok kecil mahasiswa yang heterogen yang bekerja sama dalam mencapai tujuan bersama (Armidi, 2022;Wangge & Sariyyah, 2022).…”

Systematic Review (2003–2023): Exploring Technology-Supported Cross-Cultural Learning through Review Studies

“…The capabilities of technology empower cross-cultural learning by overcoming existing obstacles, providing immersive experiences, customizing learning, and fostering global connections [14][15][16][17][18][19]. With the aid of technology, learners have the opportunity to delve into, comprehend, and appreciate diverse cultures, enhancing their cross-cultural competencies and preparing them for a globalized world [20][21][22][23].…”
