THE ROLE OF PEER REVIEW TO IMPROVE WRITING EFFECTIVELY AMONG EFL STUDENTS

This following article investigates the role of peer feedback (peer review) to enhance writing skills of EFL students. The so-called term “peer feedback” means students` reviews and comments on each other’s work which is likely to provide opportunities for co-operation, reflection, and self-regulation among these students. The study analyzes how peer feedback can improve writing considering accuracy, coherence, and structural organization as well as foster critical thinking and learner autonomy. According to previous researches, peer review can benefit both writer students and reviewers. However, peer feedback is not without challenges—for example, the accuracy of comments, cultural barriers, and students’ skepticism towards peers. Yet, these obstacles can be overcome with relevant teacher guidance, structured rubrics, and proper training. Overall, the study indicates that peer feedback is one of the productive pedagogical tools to develop writing among EFL students.
