Abstract

The current study seeks to investigate the effectiveness of collaborative Zoom breakout rooms discussion in eliminating subject-verb agreement difficulties encountered by Palestinian English majors. The quasi-experimental approach was adopted. To explain, an intact class consisting of 30 freshmen English majors were exposed to a pre-posttest focusing on subject-verb agreement. For intervention, the participants were put into Zoom breakout rooms in small heterogenous groups to discuss the subject-verb agreement rules and to practice related exercises collaboratively. Google documents were used to provide exercises and instructions. The result showed that the participants' scores in the posttest outperformed the results of the pretest. The statistically recorded positive result confirmed the effectiveness of the collaborative Zoom breakout rooms discussion on eliminating subject-verb agreement difficulties encountered by Palestinian English majors.
