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
