The effect of group work in developing the four skills in learning English as a foreign language

Abstract EN

Recently, the use of group work in EFL learning and teaching has attracted a great deal of research attention.

The main aim of this study is to explore if working in groups has a positive effect on learners' language learning.

This was done with the help of a questionnaire that applied on teachers of English at Yarmouk University in Jordan.

EFL teachers' posts and comments were thematically analyzed for the purpose of this study.

The results showed that all teachers in the study use at least some techniques of group work.

It was proved that this strategy promotes EFL interaction, self-expression, self-evaluation, and a sense of language progress.
