Abstract
Peer collaborative learning has been proven effective
in improving learners’ English language proficiency
when English is the medium of communication between
peers. This paper reports a cross-institutional project
between Hong Kong (HK) and the United Kingdom
(UK) during the pandemic in which peer collaborations
between students from these two places occurred
completely online. Using learners’ perceptions as the
research methodology, this study collected data from
three channels: questionnaire surveys, interviews, and
students’ written feedback. The initial findings of this
study suggested that overall, the students perceive an
increase in their English language proficiency after the
peer collaboration.
