Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of collaborative teaching on student teachers’ education and how it could be used to improve the teaching practice experience. The design of the study was experimental. The sample of the study was 30 senior students in the Applied Linguistics Department. They were divided into a control group (15 students) who used the traditional teaching practice model and an experimental group (15 students) who used the collaborative teaching model. Their performance was observed before and after the experimental treatment. The results of the study showed that collaborative teaching was more effective in developing students’ teachers professionally.
