Introduction
The intention of this research is to study the degree of interaction, cooperation and collaboration
as strands of CLT of high school students in Kosovo as well as to measure the impact of interaction,
cooperation and collaboration in students’ motivation. These CLT teaching strands are with the same line
with (Dörnyei, 1994) group components of motivation relating to dynamics of learning group which are:
increase group goal orientation, promoting the incorporation of class norms, assistance in maintaining class
norms, minimize the detrimental effect of intrinsic motivation assessment, promoting the development of
group cohesion and strengthening ties between students and use of cooperative-collaborative learning
techniques.
This research article explores the use of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Project
Based Language Teaching (PBLT), Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) and Engage Study Activate
(ESA) as English teaching methods by emphasizing the use of communication and students’ interaction
(cooperation, collaboration, pear and group work) in achieving the goal of learning English as a Foreign
Language (EFL). Furthermore, we want to see if there is a link between students’ interactivity and (Dörnyei,
1994) group components of motivation relating to dynamics of learning group.
When it comes to dynamics of learning in groups, students have opportunity to take risks, translation
opportunities as well as multilevel feedback (Vosburg, 2017). They also have possibility to promote
language interaction via collaborative tasks, improve condence, reduce foreign language anxiety, and
have willingness to communicate in a target language (Vosburg, 2017). Kosovo Curriculum Framework
for Pre-University Education states some of the elements where students need to communicate through

Abstract: Teaching approaches and techniques shape classroom practices and ultimately contribute to students’ learning
and achievement. While abundant research exists on how such practices impact student learning in EFL classes around the
world, this research still remains scarce in Kosovo. Therefore, the current research addresses this existing gap by exploring
the link between teacher classroom practices and student learning. Participants of this study included 10
th
and 11
th
grade
students across six municipalities in Kosovo (N=237). The respondents were asked to complete a questionnaire inquiring about
practices adopted by teachers to teach EFL. The results reveal disparate teaching practices adopted by teachers to teach the
material. To that end, female students report enhances participatory and collaborative approaches used by teachers and in the
meantime an overall higher perception of the chances given by teachers to express opinions and ideas in class, compared to
male students. Similarly, 10
th
grade students reported higher opportunities provided by the teacher in class to express opinions
as well as collaborate with other students to complete tasks. Finally, signicant positive correlations are evident between certain
collaborative and participatory approaches utilized by teachers in class as well as students’ motivation. Evidently, students enjoy
problem solving tasks and are much more active in cases when they collaborate with other students. In conclusion, this study
sheds light on how students perceive teacher techniques and teaching methods used in EFL classes.
Keywords: motivation and learning, collaborative learning, English as Foreign Language teaching approaches and
techniques.

foreign languages, they need to solve problems, they also need to nd and use learning instruments and
methods, they need to lean in teams and exchange their positive experiences, students need to work
independently and as part of working teams, they need to proof their self-condence and they need to
have competencies of interpersonal and intercultural relations.
The CLT puts at the center the student. The students are very engaging, their creativity as well
as their activity is signicant which is directed by the teacher. The work of the students is the center of
different tasks, students’ feelings, their understanding and curiosity. Furthermore, Students mostly discuss
about their life problems and their interests, and boring topics from the text books (Urinboyeva, 2020).
In order to achieve learning competences, especially in communicating in a foreign language,
Kosovo Curriculum emphasizes that students need the interrelationship between conceptual aspects
and practical dimensions, such as the implementation practical and everyday life real problems in a class
situation.
Constructivist learning involves collaboration through different learning activities such as: exploring,
searching, analyzing, planning as well as sharing information (Yeh, 2019).
Literature Review
Contemporary teaching methods enhancing cooperative and collaborative learning
According to Constructivist approach, the learning process happens when students build
knowledge by engaging themselves in pears and groups by experimenting through different learning
tasks and activities in order to come to a solution of different problems (Moloney, 2013). Students’
interaction, their cooperation as well as collaboration are crucial components in their ability to learn,
discuss, explain, interpret, practice, solve problems and communicate in EFL. These components cannot
be found in all teaching methods especially in traditional methods derived by behavior theory. The author
(Zoghi, Mustapha and Maasum, 2010) makes emphases to social theories, Constructive theory as well as
Humanistic theory when they elaborate students’ cooperative and collaborative learning, found in teaching
methods which achieve higher result with their students and they are: CLT, TBLT, PBLT, and ESA. Another
author such as (Anderson, 2020) emphasizes the creation of students’ good relationship through their
group and pair work. He puts great emphasis on Text-based Teaching by stating that it enhances learners’
use of language during different class activities while performing and they have less fear while using the
language. At the same time students are more motivated while using the foreign language.
A special role of CLT, the authors (Toro et al., 2019) give to the development of activities in the
pair work, role play, group activities, work through projects, seminars, quizzes and the Internet. Student
activities in CLT is more complex and it is based on collaborations where students talk, exchange ideas,
listen, and do not rely too much on the teacher. In this student-centered vision, the teachers are facilitators
and do not carry sole responsibility for the manner in which the material is conveyed. In other words,
students take on more responsibility in learning and become more independent where the teacher is just
a facilitator or manager in a learning process. CLT method as more diverse incorporating other methods
within itself such as: Task-Based Learning, Content Based Learning, Cooperative Learning, Interactive
Learning, Collaborative Learning etc.
The different denominations suggest differences in their aim and objectives when in reality what
ties these methods together is teaching by involving students to use target language. So, the main
objective of each of them is communication, or rather how to get to communication as soon as possible
(Richards, 2005). To achieve this goal, themes and topics concern everyday practices and examples
taken from real life. For instance, what people do on weekends and holidays as well as learning about
the interests, activities, preferences and opinions of classmates by sharing them with others. It can also
include explaining daily routines, discussing current events, writing an email, telling a book, an article, or
an interesting video clip (Celce-Murcia, Brinton and Snow, 2014).
CLT has numerous techniques such as: 1. Presenting authentic language through articles, news,
movies, telephone conversations, etc. 2. Using games, problem-solving tasks, roles play, and discussions
to help students experience real-life interactions. 3. Encouraging cooperative learning through interactions
among learners. 4. Acting as a facilitator and advisor on the part of the teacher while students are engaged
in group activities. 5. Emphasizing suitable application of a language by physical contexture and co-text
(Farahian and Rezaee, 2015).
Motivation in class situations
There are different theories about motivation such as: behavioral, cognitive, humanistic Constructivist
etc. Humanistic theories place special emphasis on the role of need (Musai, 1999). According to
constructivism in the learning settings, students should reect on their previous learning experience, they

309.
should gain knowledge in order to analyze real matters, problems and affairs, know to research, how to
debate as well as gain students’ collaborative learning (Cetin-Dindar, 2015).
Similarly, our intention is to nd out the motivation that occurs not only in a class situation but the
motivation that students have while working together about a project, a task or activity outside of the
class as well, which is learning and integration. This king of motivating learners who acquire knowledge
in EFL does not include only intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Dörnyei, 1994). Students working together
and cooperating direct them in developing intrinsic motivation and leads to improve their f self-esteem,
working in pairs, increases their pro-academic standards, as well as their sense of being part of particular
group (Ning and Hornby, 2014).
Dörnyei (1994) uses about thirty strategies in terms of student motivation in the classroom that
divides them into several levels / categories such as: level of language, level of students, level of learning
situation which are part of specic motivation components in the course/subject as well as teachers’
specic motivational components and groups’ specic motivational components (Dörnyei, 1994).
According to Chang (2010), the connection of group has to do with to how well group members work
together. By working together, the members the group are connected by sharing ideas, and taking part
in different tasks and activities. This group identity then helps to create an affective individual students’
motivation in a foreign language (Chang, 2010).
We are interested to know the students’ motivation inside as well as outside the class situation,
especially if students’ interaction, their collaboration, cooperation, pear work and group work as strategies
of different Contemporary teaching methods such as: CLT, TBL, PBL recommended by Kosovo Curriculum
have effects on learners’ motivation in EFL. So, (Dörnyei, 1994) specic motivational components of the
group will help us in understanding and having a better view.
Furthermore, we are aware that there is a kind of correlation between the students’ interaction, their
cooperation, collaboration and (Dörnyei, 1994) specic motivational components of the group, so we want
to see to what extend is this kind of correlation.
This research addresses a major gap in research by exploring teaching approaches in EFL in
Kosovar schools. More specically the study explores common approaches used by teachers and how
these approaches impact achievement in English Language. The hypotheses of this study are:
H1. There are positive correlations between collaborative and participatory approaches.
H2. Female students perceive enhanced opportunities for collaboration and contribution in class
compared to male students.
H3. There is a correlation between the students’ collaboration and the enjoyment of learning and
problem solving.
H4. There are differences in achievement according to teaching techniques and approaches used
by teachers.
Materials and Methods
The nature of this research a quantitative research design. Therefore, it can be stated that quantitative
method aims to show the degree of students’ interaction (cooperation, collaboration, group and pear
work) in EFL. Furthermore, we want to know if this interaction has any effect in students’ motivation within
the framework of contemporary teaching methods such e CLT, BPL and ESA of EFL learners. Since the
design is a case study the sample was chosen purposely. The participants were tenth grade students of
high school. Both groups were using the same syllabus as well as the same level of prociency.
Participants
The subjects of this study were 237 tenth and eleventh grade high school students with the same
level of prociency in English language.
The table below presents the demographic data for the participants of this study. Most of the
participants were male (N=125, 53%), while 112 participants of 47% of the sample were female students.
In terms of grade distribution, 124 participants were in the 11th grade (52%) and 113 participants were
attending the 10th grade when the research took place. Larger number of the participants reported that
they had the highest grade in the English Language course (N=137, 58%), 61 participants (26%) reported
that they had a grade higher than 3 and equal or lower than 4. Finally, 26 participants had a grade
between 2-3 and 13 participants had the lowest grade 1-2.
When asked about the level of their mother’s education, 100 participants (42%) reported that their
mothers had a high school diploma, 64 participants (27%) reported that their mothers had a BA degree,

Sample description
Instruments of data collection
Regarding the hypothesis, the instrument used was a questionnaire:
• A students’ questionnaire was used to collect data about their interactivity (cooperation,
collaboration, pear and group work as well as their motivation. The questionnaire included close ended
questions where the students were asked to circle the possible answers according to Liker Scale from
(Strongly Disagree – 1, Disagree – 2, Neutral – 3, Agree – 4, Strongly Agree – 5). It consists of 15
questions and it is divided in tree parts the rst parts are consisted of ve questions which has to do with
Language Skills in English Language, the second part is consisted of ve questions which has to do with
Learner Interaction/collaboration, and the third part is consisted from ve questions which has to do with
Students’ Intrinsic Motivation.
Procedure
In order to prove the hypothesis, the quantitative research method was used. The data that was
gathered from students were analyzed by using structured questionnaire by incorporated only close-
ended questions The questionnaire was written in English; however, it was translated in Albanian in order
to be better understood by the high school students and it was delivered to students in a hard copy where

the students could circle the answers. After the collection of all questionnaires the data were put into
SPSS.
Results
The ndings of t-test independent samples revealed that there are signicant differences in
gender, in their perceptions of teachers giving them the opportunity to discuss and share ideas in class t
(235) =-3.911, p<.05. More specically female students reported higher perceptions (M=4.38, SD=1.09)
compared to male students (M=3.84, SD=1.36). There are also gender differences on student perceptions
on teachers providing them with the opportunity to discuss and do practical exercises regarding texts t
(235) =-2.509, p<.05. Female reported higher perceptions (M=4.21, SD=1.09) compared to male students
(M=3.83, SD=1.23). Finally, the ndings of a t-test reveal that there are also signicant differences among
genders within their perceptions of teachers providing students with the opportunity to collaborate in
completing tasks t (235) =-1.603, p<.001. Similar to other questions, female students reported higher
perceptions (M=3.68, SD=1.05) compared to male students (M=3.43, SD=1.35).

In terms of differences between classes the ndings of the independent t-test samples reveal that
students’ signicant differences are shown on their perceptions on teachers supporting the learning of the
material through listening and practical exercises t (235) =2.356, p<.05, where students attending the 10th
grade reported higher perceptions (M=3.78, SD=1.06) compared to students from the 11th grade (M=3.40,
SD=1.20). Table1, above presents the correlation between variables. It reveals that there is a signicant
positive correlation among teachers supporting learning through listening and practical exercises and
teachers giving students opportunities to ask questions and share ideas (r=.354, p<.01), teachers doing
practical exercises and initiating discussion after reading the text (r=.315, p<.01), teachers giving students
tasks to practice writing skills (r=.137, p<.01), teachers providing effective materials to be used in the
classroom (r=.255, p<.01), teachers promoting interaction between students (r=.140, p<.05), promoting
student cooperation in completing in class tasks (r=.145, p<.05), enabling students to freely speak and
give opinions in English (r=.246, p<.01), and motivating students through collaboration (r=.134, p<.05).
Data from a correlation analysis reveal that there are signicant positive correlations between
teachers giving students opportunities to ask questions and share ideas during in class discussions
and teachers doing practical exercises and initiating discussion after reading the text (r=.372, p<.01),
teachers giving students tasks to practice writing skills (r=.425, p<.01), teachers promoting interaction
between students (r=.221, p<.01), promoting student cooperation in completing in class tasks (r=.307,
p<.01), enabling students to freely speak and give opinions in English (r=.458, p<.01), and motivating
students through collaboration (r=.128, p<.05). Finally, the results of the study reveal that collaborative
work increases student activity during learning (r=.289, p<.05) while it also makes solving problems more
enjoyable (r=.292, p<.05).
Discussion
According to students’ answers regarding the approaches the teachers use in teaching EFL it is
obvious that students were not satised with the teachers’ support while learning listening skills. They
claimed that the material used was not adequate and teacher do hardly any exercises regarding listening
skills. On the other hand, results from t-test revealed that students’ perceptions about their opportunity
to discuss in the class as well as share their ideas while discussing about different topics was high. It
is obvious that students were satised with learning of speaking skills in a class situation as well as
their engagement in a class discussion. There were differences between how female perceive learning
speaking skills male students’ perception about speaking skills, however, both of them were satised
with their engagement in learning speaking skills. The nding reveals that 10
th
grade students are more
satised with their teachers regarding the teaching material as well as their participation in listening skills
compared with 11
th
grade students. In addition, nding show that there is a link between teaching different
skills. The positive correlations are usually between listening and speaking skills where students listen
materials and then they do practical exercises, usually speaking and communicating between each other
and with teacher as well. Another very important issue is the correlations between the reading, speaking
as well as writing skill where students are engaged in reading and later, they are able to do practical
exercises, initiate discussions and practice their writing.
The research data provided within the scope of this study reveal that there are gender differences
in perception of opportunities to express ideas and collaborate in English language classes, with female
students reporting more opportunities to collaborate in tasks and exercises compared to male students.
Cooperative learning (CL) according to (Mahbib et al., 2017) found in literature is described as successful
teaching strategy where working in small groups and pairs with diverse students, teachers can use different
varieties of learning activities so that students improve their knowledge EFL. CL involves working in teams
and pairs where students work together in accomplishing learning objective being helped by their teacher.
Almost the same aspect of teaching procedures and techniques are mentioned by (Khoshsima and
Shokri, 2016) where is mentioned that, learners should be exposed, motivated and they should be given
opportunities to use the language. Furthermore, they stated that most of the teaching activities should
have features such as engaging, studying and activation. The main goal for English teacher is to wake
learners’ intention, their curiousness, as well as their interest by providing different tasks and activities
which continuously engage students. Such activities and materials: games, interesting topics, visual aids,
engaging activities, discussing themes as well as contemporary stories (Harmer, 2007).
Kosovo Subject Curriculum for tenth grade students for English language states that teachers
should promote CLT, TBL as well as PBL in order to develop learners’ creativity and autonomy as well
as their collaboration, cooperation and interaction. As a matter of fact, teachers should promote learning

309.
with the student in the center over the traditional way of teaching. Kosovo Curriculum also supports the
students’ extracurricular activities and encourages students’ behavioral habits in order to enable them to
survive in the world outside the class situation.
The main objective of English Language Curriculum is to promote students’ communication in a
successful way. The CLT aims to enables students’ interaction between each other outside the classroom.
Kosovo Subject Curriculum for tenth grade students for English language suggests that teachers should
use the four language skills in order students to be able become a better communicator.
Another important nding of this research is that there are positive correlations between different
practices of teachers. To that end, teachers who provide students with opportunities to ask questions and
share ideas are the ones who also provide more support for student learning, as reported by students. On
a similar note, there are positive correlations between teachers doing practical exercises with students and
teachers promoting interaction and collaborative learning between students. Evidently, future research
studies should explore the impact of specic teaching approaches and strategies utilized by teachers in
teaching EFL in order to explore their impact on student learning.
Conclusions
While present research addresses a major gap in literature linked to student learning and motivation
on one hand and teacher practices and approaches on the other, current research has a number of
limitations. The study reveals gender differences in perceptions, with female students perceiving
classrooms to foster collaboration and teachers to provide more opportunities for expression, discussion
and working together, compared to male students who reported lower perceptions on all variables. To that
end, future studies should explore these differences in perceptions in order to understand how students
build perceptions regarding collaboration. Future studies should research the gender differences in
student perceptions on the opportunities provided by teachers to share ideas and collaborate in class.
Additionally, results of present research also reveal that students report being more active in learning
when they have more opportunities to collaborate. In the meantime, students also tend to enjoy solving
problems in cases when they collaborate with others. Building up on the results of the present research,
future studies should research the link between collaborative learning and student achievement, in order
to understand if and to what extend collaborative learning translates into higher achievement by impacting
motivation and student activity.
Current research has a number of limitations. Firstly, this research study took place during the last
phase of the pandemic and the results of this study may have been impacted by it. Secondly, current
research gathered data only from students, and it would be interesting to explore the same topic from the
perspective of the teachers.
