Abstract : This survey research was aimed to explore collaborative learning in ELT classroom: Insights from School teachers. Thirty teachers from various institutional schools in Siddharthaagar, Rupandehi, were selected through a simple random sampling method. To achieve the research objectives, close-ended questionnaires were designed and distributed among the participants. The collected data were analyzed using statistical tables and thematic approaches. The findings reflect that activities such as group work, project work, think-pair-share, simulations, and role-plays were commonly employed in collaborative learning practices. Teachers perceived that implementing collaborative learning in ELT classrooms enhances students’ understanding and communication skills. In addition to that the study highlighted active participation from both teachers and students contributes to the effectiveness of collaborative learning. It also highlighted the importance of teachers creating a supportive environment, providing equal opportunities, and motivating students. As a result, students were found to develop positive peer relationships promoting cooperation and collaboration in the learning process.
