Collaborative learning is an educational approach that emphasizes interaction, teamwork, and shared problem-solving among students. This method promotes communication skills, critical thinking, and peer-to-peer learning, creating a more dynamic classroom environment. Research consistently highlights the positive impact of collaborative learning on motivation, engagement, and academic performance. By fostering active participation, collaborative learning also helps students develop both cognitive and social skills essential for success in academic and real-world settings (Johnson & Johnson, 2020; Warschauer, 2021). This paper explores the integration of technology into collaborative learning and its impact on language acquisition.
