The activity of writing scientific papers, especially scientific articles, is one of the activities that must be done by professional teachers. Apart from being a professional demand, writing scientific papers for teachers is also a form of scientific implementation and dissemination to the community. The purpose of this training activity is expected to improve the ability to write scientific papers, especially scientific articles for teachers. The method of implementing this training is divided into three stages. First, the presentation of the material, the two participants were divided into groups to discuss things that could be raised as the theme of writing scientific articles, the third practice in groups with the guidance of lecturers of the PPKn study program, Faculty of Teacher Training, PGRI Adi Buana University, Surabaya, and assistance to complete activities synchronously and asynchronously. This training resulted in 9 scientific articles that have been worked on by teacher groups, three of which are the results of the implementation of classroom action research (PTK) that has been previously carried out by teachers, and there are two participant articles that have been successfully uploaded to the national online journal Pacivic Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya.

This study examines the impact of structured online collaborative learning (OCL) on foreign language skills in multinational higher education settings. As digital platforms become integral to global education systems, OCL has proven effective in enhancing language proficiency, especially in speaking, writing, and interaction. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study employed pre-test and post-test assessments to measure language improvements before and after engaging in OCL activities. The results demonstrated significant progress in all areas of language proficiency, particularly in speaking and interactional skills, owing to continuous peer interaction, structured feedback, and collaborative tasks mimicking real-world communication scenarios. The study emphasizes the importance of synchronous collaboration in fostering fluency and confidence, particularly through real-time communication and peer feedback. However, challenges such as technological disparities and cultural differences were observed, occasionally limiting full participation. Despite these obstacles, the findings suggest that OCL is an effective method for improving foreign language skills. The study advocates for the integration of collaborative online learning tools in language education curricula, particularly in diverse, multicultural environments. Future research should explore the long-term effects of OCL on language acquisition, address technological barriers, and investigate the effectiveness of various collaborative models in enhancing specific language skills.
