Teachers' attitudes towards collaborative writing in the Algerian EFL context : challenges and perspectives

الملخص EN

This article explores the attitudes held by Algerian EFL teachers towards collaborative writing.

It further probes the challenges that may hinder its effective implementation.

In pursuance of this aim, the researchers have collected data through a perception questionnaire sent to 41 EFL teachers at different Algerian universities, namely Bejaia, Setif, and Algiers.

The results revealed that Algerian EFL teachers have positive attitudes towards collaborative writing; however, they announced that many reasons limited using collaborative writing, such as time constraints and learners' unfair contribution.

Based on these findings, we recommend that teachers should reconsider implementing collaborative writing in their classes.
