Abstract: (824 Views)
This study aims to investigate the use of collaborative action research in EFL classroom. Therefore, this is an action research which is analyzed qualitatively. The research is conducted in Kish Way Language Institute. Because of the nature of the study, the participants of the study consist of teacher, researcher, and students; and speaking skill is considered as the context of the study. Research findings show that students' speaking skills have improved in terms of abilities such as answering teacher questions, identifying words and grammar used in the phrase, constructing sentences using appropriate grammar and vocabulary, and expressing their idea. In addition, the class situation is more vivid in terms of student activity. The study of action research is a valuable and inspiring experience that gives new knowledge to the researcher. It is hoped that research can be conducted by other researchers to achieve a better teaching and learning process.
