Role of Collaborative Strategies in Enhancing ESL Learners' Motivation: A Critical Discourse Analysis
This study investigates the role of Collaborative Strategies in enhancing ESL learners' motivation. Through critical discourse analysis, three key strategies emerge - group projects and cooperative learning, interactive language games and simulations, and encouraging peer feedback and assessment. These strategies align with sociocultural theory, gamification, task-based language teaching, and social learning theory. The findings reveal that these Collaborative Strategies positively influence ESL learners' motivation, fostering a deeper commitment to language learning and promoting language proficiency and communication skills. The study offers valuable insights for teachers and policymakers to optimize ESL education, creating an empowering and engaging learning environment that empowers
ESL learners for a brighter future in an interconnected world.
