Despite the value of self- and peer-assessments in supporting learning, research reports mixed findings about self- and peer-assessments of writing, raising intriguing queries about the validity and utility of student-led assessment in a writing classroom. Applying a many-facets Rasch measurement approach, this quantitative study investigated 53…

The impact of self- and peer-assessment strategies (assessment as learning) on the development of writing skill of EFL learners is a research area requiring more research studies. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of language assessment literacy enhancement (LALE) on Iranian high school English as Foreign Language (EFL) students'…

This mixed-methods study aims to investigate the bias in peer feedback. Thirty-two English as an additional language learners gave each other anonymous feedback on their texts. Half of the participants received feedback from their teacher disguised as peer feedback, while the other half received actual peer feedback. Data were collected through…

The effectiveness of providing Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms to enhance students' general writing skills has been well-established.

Although studies on peer feedback have identified several advantages for second language writing classes, the benefits of peer feedback to low-proficiency students have not been thoroughly investigated. This current study aims to determine how low-proficiency second-language students of English can improve their writing by giving and receiving…

This study explores the effect of collaborative writing (CW) and peer feedback (PF) practices on subsequent individual writing assignments. Two groups of university students in a Spanish as a foreign language course experienced both CW and PF (Group 1 CW then PF; Group 2 PF then CW), and pre and posttests were analyzed for syntactic complexity,…

A significant number of studies are devoted to the psychological and social adaptation of students to the educational process at university.

Affective, behavioral, and cognitive engagements play crucial roles in how learners interact with and process written feedback on their language production. The present study examines the efficacy of peer feedback versus ChatGPT-generated feedback in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing context. Participants (n = 169) were 1st-year…

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) has extensively been reported to interfere with second language learning and performance. To mitigate anxiety, researchers have called for the inclusion of technology into foreign language classes and providing learners with corrective feedback on their performance. One factor that may affect the comprehensibility of…
