Abstract: This article proposes collaborative learning concept to reduce the act of cheating. Based on the result of interview, none of the students from two Critical Listening and Speaking II (CLS) classes claimed that they have not cheated before. The reasons might vary from the difficulty of materials, lack of confidence, the importance of getting good score, bad preparation, and the trend of millennials. The goal of CLS II course is to improve students’ critical thinking by watching some videos, answering some questions, and discussing some certain themes. Nevertheless, it would be possible to reach the aim when students tended to cheat. For solving that problem, this article proposes the change of learning concept from individual learning process into collaborative learning process when students do not need to cheat because after they finish doing the exercise, they can share the result and criticize their friend’s work. From analyzing the result of observation, document analysis and questionnaire, students could avoid the act of cheating. Furthermore, they could help their friends’ difficulty for their grammar, content, and the organization of the idea.
