Abstract
The study refers to collaborative writing. The main objective of this study is to show
the effects of collaborative writing in the acquisition of the English language upon students of
non-compulsory secondary education. The applied study is grounded on a quantitative focus of
correlational character and descriptive basis, while applying a quasi-experimental design with a
control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). The results show that there is a significant
relation that favors the method of collaborative writing upon the dimensions of feedback, motivation,
collaboration, satisfaction, and ratings. It can be concluded that the collaborative writing method is
effective if compared to the individual learning method.
