ELTI, some students felt happy because they could learn to adapt moving class system. The atmosphere of the collaborative teaching class was different with a
common English class in their school. The students could enjoy the class because they already felt relaxed with the classroom and the teachers’ teaching style. From
the result of the questionnaire, there were 72 of participants agreed that the class activities, teaching learning media and classroom atmosphere were able to catch
their attention to be more active in class. Besides, according to the teachers, the Collaborative Teaching English

help the students to be more accustomed in speaking English. In addition, this program also brought high motivation for the students to be more confidence in
speaking in front of public. That statement was proved by the result of the questionnaire data which shown around 67 of participants agreed that their self-
confidence in speaking English was improving after joining the collaborative English teaching Program.
