In today's world, education is being reshaped to help individuals adapt to rapidly changing conditions, think independently, and develop lifelong learning skills. In this context, teaching models that enhance students' sense of personal responsibility and enable them to effectively use the knowledge and skills they acquire take center stage. The collaborative learning model stands out as an effective method to achieve these objectives. Collaborative learning is an approach that encourages students to share information and work together toward common goals through group activities. This study delves into the theoretical foundations of the collaborative learning model, its application processes, and its role in education. The advantages of the model, particularly in foreign language learning, as well as the potential limitations, are highlighted. Research demonstrates the positive effects of collaborative learning on student motivation, communication skills, and social interaction. Furthermore, it is noted that this method may yield varying results depending on factors such as individual differences and group dynamics. In conclusion, the collaborative learning model is regarded as a powerful pedagogical tool that not only enhances students' academic success but also supports their social and emotional development. However, for the method to be implemented effectively, teachers must understand the fundamental principles of this model and develop suitable strategies for classroom practices. This study aims to guide educators who wish to better understand the potential of collaborative learning in education and apply this model more effectively.
