Abstract

Virtual Sociocultural Collaborative Learning (VSCL) is an innovative techno-pedagogical approach aimed at enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) speaking skills in classrooms. This study investigated the impact of VSCL on EFL speaking proficiency through a quasi-experimental design, utilizing pre- and post-test time-series measurements. The Cognitive Function Scale (ACFS) was used to assess the effectiveness of the VSCL. The results indicated that VSCL significantly improved classification, perspective-taking, and verbal and auditory skills, confirming its positive influence on learners. Furthermore, VSCL was found to enhance key speaking components, including grammar, fluency, accuracy, and comprehension, with a t-count of 0.000, which was lower than the t-table value of 0.68. These findings suggest that VSCL is a valuable approach for EFL teachers to support diverse zones of proximal development (ZPD) in their classrooms.
