Abstract:

 The paper investigates the effectiveness of collaborative learning in reducing foreign language anxiety (FLA). In this study, we adopted a mixed-methods approach, comprising a total of 43 first-year high school students. The participants were encouraged to engage in various collaborative learning activities over three-weeks intervention. The required data for the study were collected through two main instruments: The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and semi-structured interviews. The scale was administered as a pre- and post-test to measure anxiety levels before and after the implementation of collaborative learning techniques, which were mainly based on the Kagan structures model. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of six students to explore their perceptions of group work. The quantitative results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in FLA levels following the intervention. Qualitative analysis confirmed the results and indicated that students have a positive attitude towards collaborative learning. These results underscore the pedagogical significance of collaborative learning for students, teachers, and policymakers.
