The impact of peer feedback on critical English writing skills.

This research delved into the influence of peer feedback on enhancing critical thinking and writing capabilities among 60 university students enrolled in a critical English writing course in Busan, with a special emphasis on their various levels of English proficiency. Employing pre- and post-course surveys, based on Cheng (2011)’s critical thinking evaluation framework, this study meticulously charted the evolution in students’ perceptions regarding peer feedback and their own critical thinking skills over the semester. The results highlighted a remarkable surge in students' confidence in giving and receiving peer feedback, particularly notable among students with intermediate levels of English proficiency. This increase in confidence was accompanied by a growing appreciation of the value of peer feedback in their learning process. The research further explored potential improvements to the peer feedback process, aiming to significantly enhance the overall effectiveness of critical English writing pedagogy. The findings emphasize the indispensable role of peer feedback in the development of students’ critical analytical skills and writing competencies, positioning it as a crucial, transformative educational tool within the realm of English language learning. This study advocates for sophisticated peer feedback strategies tailored to students’ diverse linguistic abilities to optimize learning and ensure an inclusive educational environment.
