The application of collaborative writing has proved its significance to create opportunities for language learners to explore the language in an active manner when they are allowed to interact with other peers. Learners are able to employ the linguistic features of their classmates to internalise the learning process. Moreover, the sense of critical thinking is also elevated when learners can argue and express their personal ideas with careful negotiation among the pair or group members. This approach is ideal to construct the learning arena when learners can take active role with higher levels of reflection for their personal performance so that they can modify learning strategies. However, when it comes to the private teaching context, more issues are confronted by both teachers and learners. This paper is a critical review of the factors that contribute to the practicality of collaborative writing in the context of Vietnam. It will address certain matters that influence the effectiveness of collaborative writing in private teaching contexts, especially for test preparation courses. It also proposes certain measures to mitigate the negative factors in applying collaborative learning in test preparation courses.
