The Procedure  
The procedure used in this research study is qualitative, and data was acquired from 
semi-structured interviews with participants. Several secondary sources were also used
including peer-reviewed journals, articles, and books. Other sources which have been 
incorporated into this study include new technologies available for learning second languages 
such as social networks; media resources such as films and music; online courses; websites that 
have launched language learning programs; and traditional resources such as classroom training. 
Hence, several relevant foundations of qualitative studies were examined, of which some 
expressed principles about learning second languages (Hummel & French, 2010). 
 
Data Collection 
The data collection process consisted of a series of three interviews conducted between 
January 2021 and April 2021. Participants were asked a set of questions to gather relevant 
information about new FSL new methodologies. A series of open-ended and flexible questions 
were asked to explore in-depth new strategies in FSL teaching that have emerged in the last 
decades. Participants A, B and C were audio-taped during their respective Zoom interviews, and 


31 
the interviews were later transcribed for data analysis. Participants were also given pseudonyms 
due to confidentiality and privacy purposes.
In qualitative research, data is gathered first and then prepared for further analysis. The 
data were thoroughly examined by means of an in-depth investigation. The fundamental themes 
were derived from adult instructors’ interview responses. The collected data were summarized 
using key words to find common themes. The data were then surveyed and analyzed to obtain 
more nuanced information and supporting details. The collected data were coded with the intent 
to elaborate on the pivotal themes that arose. It should be noted that coding is defined as 
“symbolically assigning summative, salient, essence-capturing, and/or evocative attributes for a 
portion of language-based or visual data” (Saldana, 2013, p. 3). This definition made it possible 
for me to better understand the principal constituents of cooperative teaching/learning. 
Moreover, the application of this coding method allowed me to shed some light on the effects of 
involving students in group learning activities.
