Abstract
Collaborative learning means two or more people learn or attempt to learn something together. In the classroom, students rarely communicate with each other due to the limited time. Therefore, this paper focuses on the collaborative learning of English for college students out of class. This thesis analyzes the features of collaborative learning and Chinese college English teaching first. Then I try to suggest ways to imply collaborative learning in college English. Problems about this issue are also mentioned at the end of the thesis.
