Collaborative writing is an approach teachers can apply to support their students’ writing development. Previous researchers have also indicated that collaborative writing provides opportunities for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students to improve their writing ability. My presentation aims to explore the perceptions of EFL female students in doing collaborative writing in Writing for the Media classes. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview with five EFL female students from a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. My preliminary analysis results indicated that EFL students have positive perceptions of collaborative writing, positively affecting their writing ability. Practical suggestions for improving online collaborative writing activities in online EFL writing classroom are presented.
