THE USE OF PEER FEEDBACK FORM (PFF) AMONG L2 LEARNERS IN PEER FEEDBACK ACTIVITY

Abstract

Writing in L2 can create difficulties among students and teachers. Teachers sometimes use peer feedback activity in order for students to understand how essays are evaluated and to promote student-centered approach in classroom. However, numerous studies have suggested that peer feedback activity is unsuccessful because students were unable to provide effective feedback. Therefore, a material call Peer Feedback Form (PFF) was introduced in this study to help students to provide more and better feedback. In this study, students were asked to provide feedback for their friends’ essays with and without the use of PFF. This study has found that students were able to provide more and different types of feedback after PFF was introduced in the activity. This study has shown that support during peer feedback activity is important to ensure success in this activity.
