Abstrak:
This article explores innovative methods of teaching English through group work, focusing on new strategies like task-based learning and the integration of technology. By examining a qualitative study conducted with intermediate-level English learners, the article highlights how group activities promote communication, collaboration, and language acquisition in real-world contexts. The findings suggest that task-based learning and structured group work models, where specific roles are assigned to students, enhance participation and engagement. Additionally, the use of technology, such as online collaborative tools, offers students opportunities for continuous interaction and language practice. The article also discusses the challenges of unequal participation within groups and proposes strategies to address this issue. The study's outcomes provide valuable insights for language educators looking to foster active, student-centered learning environments.
