Collaborative approaches to language instruction have become widespread, and particularly so with the advent of Web 2.0 tools. The term “collaborative” generally implies asking students to complete a given task in small groups or pairs, thereby sharing the labor. This entry focuses on collaborative writing tasks and the relationships learners form when they work with each other to coauthor a joint text, whether in face‐to‐face or computer‐mediated mode. The argument put forward is that these relationships are important because not all relationships formed are conducive to language learning. Using the model of patterns of interaction established by Storch, the entry explains what the different patterns mean. It then reviews key studies conducted in a range of language learning settings which show (a) that simply assigning learners to work in pairs or small groups will not necessarily mean that they will collaborate; (b) that dialogues in collaborative groups/pairs are rich in language learning opportunities; (c) that interaction in collaborative pairs is more likely to result in language learning gains; and (d) that a number of factors may explain why learners form different patterns of interaction, including learners' relative proficiency, their goals and attitudes, and mode of interaction.
