The Implementation of Collaborative and Participatory Learning (CPL) to Enhance Students’ Critical Literacy Skills: A Case Study of Issues on Linguistics Class at Universitas Brawijaya

Abstract

This study aims to explore how Collaborative and Participatory Learning (CPL) can be used to improve students' critical literacy skills. This qualitative research study was conducted in Issues on Linguistics class at Faculty of Culture Studies, Universitas Brawijaya. The respondents were 42 students who were taking the Issues on Linguistics courses. The authors assisted students to be involved in shared knowledge construction with classroom members and engaged meaningfully in CPL. Students' interest and enthusiasm to finish assignments has enhanced collaborative and participatory class, as well as the development of critical and analytical thinking skills. Furthermore, this technique has encouraged students to improve their social skills. Through this study, it is expected that other teacher educators can learn from the authors and enact CPL in their classroom contexts.
