摘要:Writing in English is often claimed as the most complex skills compared to the
other three skills. Due to its complexity, feedback is seen to be an important part in
writing process since it can lead to the students’ better writing performance. It has
been a consensus that teacher feedback is not practical to be given in a class with a
big number of students; thus, this challenges peer feedback to be implemented in
the writing classroom. While there are studies showing that peer feedback is
effective to enhance the students’ writing performance, how peer feedback should
be conducted has been overlooked and limited. In this study, we investigated the
effect of two types of peer feedback provision on the students’ writing
performance. This study involved 55 EFL students of the English Department of a
state university in Indonesia. The study revealed that both in-class peer feedback
provision and small group peer feedback provisiom led to the students’ better
writing performance. Nonetheless, neither of these two was more effective than the
other. This indicates that regardless of the types of peer feedback provision, the
results will be the same.
