Abstract
This paper examines conflict, disagreement, and repetition in a collaborative group and the social interactions and lessons that occur due to them. By examining my own participation and reflections in a content-based collaboratively structured course and analyzing them from within a sociocultural theory of mind, the point is made that the study of cognitive conflict, disagreement and repetition in collaborative groups holds substantial potential for understanding the socially mediated process of learning. This understanding will, in turn, provide insightful information about group work in L2 classrooms.
