Collaboration between English and mathematics education is a growing area of interest in educational research, particularly in addressing the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. English language learners (ELLs) often struggle in mathematics due to language barriers that affect their ability to understand concepts, solve problems, and participate in classroom discussions. This paper explores the integration of mathematics and EFL education, the role of cooperative learning strategies, and the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration for both students and teachers. Additionally, it highlights key challenges in aligning language proficiency with mathematical instruction and suggests future directions for inclusive education. The findings indicate that a collaborative approach not only improves mathematical proficiency but also supports language development, making it an effective strategy in diverse classroom settings.
