THE ROLE OF PEER EDITING IN ENGLISH CLASSES

Abstract

Peer reviewing is a method used by English language teachers to actively involve students in the writing process and facilitate the development of the final version of the essay. Disputes about the effectiveness of collegiate editing are common among both teachers and students. The purpose of this article is to share the results of a classroom study that focuses on the effectiveness of the practice of collegiate editing in 2-year composition classes in college. This review presents the results of several methods of collegiate editing, examines both the difficulties and advantages of this process, and examines how to adapt the experience to meet the individual needs of each classroom.
