Social interaction is the platform that enables people to connect and practice language. Active listening stimulates them to understand the language they are speaking. The problem of the study highlights that less attention to listening among speaking, reading, and writing skills causes the weakness of collaborative learning. This paper contributes to characterizing the effectiveness of collaborative learning in developing learner’s listening skills. It aims to underscore the role of target language learners as members of the learning groups and of the teacher in the collaborative learning process. 130 Iraqi EFL teachers from different colleges at the University of Baghdad participated in this study. The scores in the statistical data were measured in the 5 Likert scale using IBM Statistical Package for Social Software (SPSS) version 24. The research findings showed that the correlation between collaborative learning and listening skills significantly developed students' other fundamental language skills. The results showed that great attention is paid to reading and speaking skills while learning collaboratively. An essential limitation of this study is that it needs to address barriers encountered by collaborative learners to practice reflective listening. More research on pronunciation and grammar is necessary for improving listening skills.
