Peer interaction creates a communication- friendly environment where novice foreign language learners feel more comfortable to use the target language, reinforcing what they have learned and pushing them to rack their brains and reach beyond the zone of proximal development for more. Recently, an increasing number of second language learning studies has begun to investigate peer-peer interaction, focusing more on the social nature of learning. These studies draw upon the framework of Sociocultural Theory, which regards cognition and knowledge as constructed through social interaction.展开更多

It also explores whether it would be possible to solve the above pedagogical dilemmas through implementing collaborative learning mode in ESL. After analyzing the data collected from case study, classroom observation and post-hoc interviews, researcher discovers that collaborative learning mode exerts a considerable positive influence on reducing students' learning anxiety and rebuilding their self-confidence. In addition, peer interaction and group collaboration are highly motivating and effective for ESL learners at college level.展开更多
