The teaching and learning of English as a second language and its approaches have been an issue of great concern to both educationists and linguistics alike. Many approaches have been in use and many others coming up, all in a bid to find effective way of teaching English as a second language, the English language being the pivot on which the success of our educational system revolves. So the effectiveness of its teaching determines the efficacy of our education.

This paper sets out to discuss collaborative approach and L2 teaching and learning and the bases of its effectiveness in active learning. This paper discuss how the interactive nature of collaborative approach engages students in active processing of information resulting in greater retention of subject matter; improved attitudes towards learning and enhancement of interpersonal relations among group members.
