ABSTRACT

As discussed in chapters 1, 4, and 5, peer response in the L2 writing classroom has been widely adopted over the past two decades. Research on peer feedback to date has by and large indicated that students find it beneficial and that they consider and utilize peers’ suggestions in their revised texts. Some researchers have even presented findings showing that peer feedback suggestions were not only incorporated in student papers but that they helped the quality of the papers and led to student improvement over time.
