| چکیده مقاله |
| In the evolving landscape of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education, co-teaching has emerged as an important approach offering a collaborative pedagogical shift. Bases on the search results retreieved from widely recognized academic databases, including ERIC, ResearchGate, Wiley, and Taylor and Francis, the present meta-analysis synthesizes 52 empirical studies from 2000 to 2025 to examine co-teaching opportunities and obstacles across diverse geographical contexts. The results of thematic synthesis highlighted three key themes emerging from the included studies: (1) professional and pedagogical development via reciprocal growth, peer observation, feedback, and refined strategies; (2) improved student outcomes, including oral fluency, engagement, motivation, and collaboration in mixed-ability groups; and (3) implementation barriers like conflicting pedagogical beliefs, limited planning time, and contextual factors. The recurring themes underscore co-teaching's role in fostering inclusive language environments and the need for strategies to overcome the challenges. Implications for educators and institutions are provided to enhance sustainable EFL practices. |
