Collaborative strategies to enhance oral participation in seventh graders

Abstract

Collaborative strategies are a great complement to enhance oral participation in class. They promote active engagement, meaningful discussions, and a supportive learning environment by sharing their unique viewpoints, experiences, and ideas, leading them to a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and encouraging critical thinking. This research, made through a descriptive, argumentative, and documentary research method, investigates the importance and benefit of applying these techniques inside the classroom to improve oral participation. It also describes strategies that effectively boost oral participation and communication in English learners. A detailed literature review of the most effective oral activities was made to explain those strategies that can be applied at all levels. Its key issues, such as teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, may contribute to nurturing communication skills in English learners
