Traditional one-way teacher feedback with which the teachers usually make great efforts to mark out all errors had been proved to be unscientific. In this article, based on the specific situation in two English major classes in Wenhua Institute attached to HUST, a series of training and experiments were designed with the aim of proving the effect of peer evaluation in writing class. It is emphasized that language teachers should recognize the practical value of peer evaluation, and try to help students be involved in making peer responses in the writing process actively, so that students can get meaningful experience from evaluating their peers＇ writing, which, in turn, will enhance their own ability to produce more satisfactory essays.展开更多

Peer feedback is viewed as one of the effective ways experimented in foreign language writing classroom. Literature shows that different researchers do it in different ways in their contexts. In Chinese college SLW classroom, the peer feedback activities can be tried by following ＂pre-peer feedback＂, ＂while-peer feedback＂ and ＂post-peer feedback＂. The ＂pre-peer feedback＂ is the core that can assume the later steps and the activity quality.展开更多
