初中英语写作中同伴互评的有效性研究

The Study of the Effectiveness of Peer Feedback in Junior Middle School English Writing

同伴反馈在外语写作中的使用一直存在争议。一方面,它能培养学生写作的读者意识和自主性,另一方面,对于英语语言能力有限的初中生而言,它是否能够提高其作文的质量仍然是一个疑问。文章以某校八年级的一个英语班级为样本,探索同伴反馈对于英语作文修改稿的影响,以及学生对于同伴互评这一项活动的看法,并进一步为英语写作课堂中同伴反馈的实施提供具体的教学建议。

There has been considerable debate about the application of peer feedback in English writing.On the one hand,it can cultivate students’sense of audience and encourage their autonomy in writing;on the other hand,there are still uncertainties about whether it can improve the quality of the students’compositions considering their limited English language ability.This paper is based on a research in an English class in Grade 8 of a school in order to explore the influence of peer feedback on the revision of English compositions and students’views of the effectiveness of peer feedback.The findings can provide pedagogical implications for further implementation of peer feedback in English writing classes.
