"Investigating the Implementation of Collaborative Learning Strategies that Boost Student Behavioural Engagement in Oral Participation The Case of Second Year LMD Students"

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the implementation of collaborative learning strategies that boost Second Year Licence students’ behavioural engagement in oral participation at the department of English at the University of Jijel. The aims of the study were twofold: to determine whether oral expression teachers implement strategies of collaborative learning in oral expression classes, and if so, to identify which ones are mostly used. It also aimed to investigate the correspondences between the use of these strategies and learners’ behavioural engagement. It was, therefore, hypothesized that strong correspondences might be established between the extent of incorporating these strategies and students’ engagement
