Kristian Florensio Wijaya

Abstract


There is an indispensable need for language teachers to promote a more specific breakthrough in diverse wide-ranging Indonesian EFL classroom contexts. One of the efficient teaching-learning strategies worthwhile to achieve this holistic educational major objectivity is to promote student-centered learning approaches in which all learners are capable of constructing a vast array of knowledge jointly with their trusted learning companions. Responding to the resurgence of this learning strategy, both collaborative and problem-based learning enterprises can potentially breed more proficient, critical, creative, and autonomous L2 academicians. These positive matters may be due to the considerable number of precious learning opportunities imparted for learners to enrich each other’s existent understanding in the light of meaningful sharing as well as intimate cooperative networking. This study was conducted by using a library approach to reveal the renewable findings out of the observed phenomenon. Thus, 30 collaborative along with problem-based learning studies conducted in Indonesian EFL learning contexts were overviewed in this study. Generally speaking, two specific major themes strongly suggested Indonesian EFL teachers incorporating collaborative and problem-based learning approaches in their multiverse second language classroom settings to promote more fruitful learning outcomes that suit learners’ real-time life experiences.
