Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
Peer review in the second language classroom
Introduction
This inquiry project informed by research and which in turn informed
pedagogical best practices investigated the role of peer review for ELL. The
literature that I have read indicated several possible fruitful areas of investigation
and reflection for this project. In piloting this mixed method research project, and
through this process discovering the many complex issues around peer review, I
have pursued multiple lines of inquiry. Initially, this study investigated student
attitudes toward peer review, including whether or not geographical or cultural
identity influences these attitudes and perception. Additionally, teacher and student
(peer) comments were studied to determine to what extent they complimented or
were similar to one another..
Guiding questions for this mixed method research project are: What are
student attitudes toward peer review and does geographical or cultural identity
influence these attitudes? How do student and teacher comments compare with one
another in terms of quantity and substance? What are some of the affective concerns
in peer review? In the end, as an instructor in training, what are some of the
practices and perspectives that I will need in making peer review into a worthwhile
experience for students and teachers alike? This final question includes whether or
not students prefer written or oral feedback and whether they had any suggestions
to make their peer review experience better.

In my capacity as instructor in training and novice researcher, various
methodological processes were utilized in this inquiry project. In illuminating these
processes, it is my hope through this transparency of process to burnish my
research skills still in its nascent stage, necessarily exposing some of the possible
groundless assumptions, generalizations, or approaches that needs further scrutiny.
Because of this desire for feedback on methodological practices, the methodology
section may be larger than is commonly done in an academic inquiry project of this
nature.
Context
The context for this project is a first year multilingual composition class at
San Francisco State University (SFSU). According to the class syllabus, the class
“provides multilingual students opportunities to learn and practice American written
rhetoric” through various readings and expository essay responses to these essays. There
were approximately 19 students in the classroom, coming from a diversity of various
Asian, Middle Eastern, European, Central American, North American, and African
countries. The class met two times per week for one hour and fifteen minutes. The
semester was 15 weeks in length. I attended all of the classes save a few. I took copious
notes during these classes, met with my mentor teacher frequently and for good amounts
of time, tutored many of the students, and conducted research about peer review. It
should be noted that a moderately significant amount of class time was devoted to
training for peer review, including a peer review guideline sheet that was distributed by
the teacher before each of the 3 peer review sessions. A copy of the peer review sheet that
was utilized for the peer review session that I scrutinized can be seen in Appendix A.

Peer review defined and theoretically contextualized
“Peer assessment is an arrangement in which individuals consider the
amount, level, value, worth, quality or success of the products or outcomes of
learning of peers of similar status’’ (Topping, 1998, p. 250). Theoretically, there are
four areas from which peer review draws its primary inspiration: “process writing,
collaborative learning, Vygotskian learning theory, and interactionist theories of L2
acquisition” (Hyland, 2006, p. 90) “A common theme in these theories is that
learning takes place, not in an isolated individual mind but among people…in a
society…or within communities of practice“(Lin, 2011, p. 90). Impacting these
theories are new conceptions of multimodal forms of communication that are
increasingly prevalent, such as wiki technology. But, remaining are the fundamental
aspect of students assessing one another’s work, regardless of culture or language.
Peer review in the ESL classroom has many complimentary and related areas
of study, including, in this author’s view, from most to least relatedness: peer review
in EFL classrooms, peer review of same language students in a multiplicity of genres
and disciplines, students tutoring one another in university writing centers
(frequently between 1st language and 2nd language students) (Harris, 2014), and
finally, the peer review process that professional researchers engage in with one
another in reviewing each other’s work, determining its academic value and such,
perhaps even including teachers evaluating or reviewing one another. Any system
which seeks to position workers or subjects as equals, or where feedback can be
seen as bi-directional, could theoretically be conceived as affecting or being affected
by the principles of peer review.

These related ideas and contexts could use further scrutiny, but not in this
inquiry project. Instead, I will note some of the relevant theories and considerations
in peer review, for the most part in ELL peer review, laying the groundwork for
further critique around the particular context that I studied. This study examines a
limited sample size in an educational research context known for multitudes of
variables to be considered. Due to these considerations, this inquiry project must be
viewed as a pilot research project from whence more detailed assumptions can be
drawn for future teaching and researching.
Cultural and practical considerations around peer review
An initial consideration in peer review is the perception by teachers and
students of whether peer review is in fact a viable part of the ESL or EFL classroom.
This debate involves both student and teacher perceptions about peer review and
its appropriateness. Can students fairly evaluate one another competently and
usefully? Is the training and time necessary to implement peer review worth it? Can
certain cultural generalizations and assumptions be made about student attitudes
toward peer review?
Student evaluations of the appropriateness of peer review begins with
fundamental questions of whether they see themselves as being qualified to
measure one another, evaluate one another, especially in a second language
classroom. In instances where students are unfamiliar with peer review, perhaps
coming from classes which are more teacher-centered or deferential to teachers,
some research indicates student resistance to evaluating and interacting with one
another (Ferris & Hedgcock, 2014). According to this schema, students from
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 4
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
collectivist or non-Western oriented cultures and classroom practices, characterized
by a teacher-centered classroom and student non-participation in the classroom, are
at a disadvantage when asked to participate in peer review type activities, as they
must abandon previously established norms of classroom communication (Hyland,
2006)
But, these ideas of Asian students in particular not liking peer review can be
challenged on several fronts, through various studies and alternative cultural
constructs. (Hu, 2010; Hyland, 2006; Miao, Badger, & Zhen, 2006). These
deconstructions perhaps begin with an assault on the very concept of culture,
especially when the “West” defines and essentializes the “East,” and thus transforms
it into something “thinglike, static, homogenous, coherent, and timeless” (Hyland,
2006, p. 49). Hyland (2006) warns us that “the cultural backgrounds that students
bring to group interactions are somewhat opaque” (p. 49) due to, amongst other
issues, the teacher usually not being a member of the sociocultural group being
critiqued, analyzed, constructed.
Affective considerations
Peer review has the potential to deepen classroom divides or bridge them.
Feedback in a general sense can be a significant contributor to teacher and student
motivation (Dorneyi & Csizer, 1998; Pennington, 1995). Interpersonal variables of
“psychological safety, trust, value diversity, and interdependence” may need to be
considered and addressed (van Gennip et al, 2010, p. 282) Steps may need to be
taken so that students have a shared understanding of the task at hand, not letting
personal relations affect positively nor negatively their honest appraisal. “Peers
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 5
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
have a tendency to assess on the basis of issues such as friendship and uniformity”
(Van Gennip, p. 282. 2010). As a teacher, it is important to devise lessons around
peer feedback that encourage fair and frank discussion, building a collaborative
classroom environment. This affective side of peer review could use more study,
especially considering that in a study of L1 peer reviewers, “40% indicated that peer
assessment was an uncomfortable experience” (VanGennip, 2010, p. 281). The
reasons for this need to be understood better and mitigated, perhaps especially so
in an L2 classroom. The question of whether or not students found peer review
difficult, awkward, or uncomfortable was addressed in the free write survey prompt
that I administered to them.
Methodology
For this inquiry project, various methodologies were employed, making this
a “mixed methods study (which) involves the collection of both quantitative and
qualitative study” (Dorneyi, 2007, p. 163). This mixed methods began with extensive
classroom observation as well as research on best practices. Professors were
consulted for suggested resources on peer review. This lead to the formulation of
the survey freewrite that I constructed and administered, which employed both
quantitative and qualitative features. This format was decided upon after consulting
with various professors who were skeptical of the results of solely a survey. With
the help of my mentor teacher, the original survey I made was transformed into a
combination survey and freewrite, a “peer review writing prompt,” which can be
seen in its entirety in the Appendix B.

Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
There is some controversy around the legitimacy of this kind of mixed
methodology surveying. Most of the controversy surrounds the use of the “open-
ended” question in a survey. Says one researcher, “the desire to use open-ended
questions appears to be almost universal in novice researchers, but is usually
rapidly extinguished with experience” (Robson, 1993, p. 243) But, the particularities
of the freewrite survey that I administered to my class are held in higher esteem
when they “contain guidance” such as with “specific open questions (that) ask about
concrete pieces of information, such as facts about the respondent, past activities, or
preferences….short-answer questions are different from ‘essay questions in that they
are worded in such a focused way that the question can be answered succinctly”
(Dorneyi, 2007, p. 107). It is my belief that my questionnaire/survey/freewrite met
just such a criterion. The only question that provoked a longer response was
probably the last one, “in your opinion, how could this peer review process be
improved?” This final position is considered the best place for an open-ended
question (Dorneyi, 2007).
This survey was supplemented by my observing, taking notes, and mingling
during the peer review process. By doing this, I sought to confirm whether or not
students participated in a way similar to their survey responses, whether the
students were engaged or not. My primary concern while doing this and in students
knowing that I was studying peer review was in provoking “the Hawthorne effect,”
where “participants perform differently when they know they are being studied”
(Dorneyi, 2007, p. 53) I am still left to wonder if even the mere act of students
reflecting on their attitudes toward peer in answering my “peer review writing
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 7
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
prompt” could possibly have positively affected their attitudes. I was able to speak
with another student who also is studying peer review in my 732 English class at
SFSU to verify similar results and impressions as the ones that I had, somewhat
mitigating any particular bias.
Besides the interactions with my mentor teacher, observation, and surveying,
I also was granted access to all of the graded papers in the class in an easily
downloaded arena, the SFSU Moodle site, iLearn. Through this site I was able to gain
unfettered access to all of the comments that the teacher made to the students.
Unfortunately, I was not able to gain quite as much of an unfettered access to peer
review comments that students made and I only had a limited window of time in
which to electronically scan student peer reviews. Because of this limited time, I
decided to choose a representative sampling of papers from students of various
cultural backgrounds, genders, and achievement levels in the class. I chose 5
students for this representative sampling.
With these peer reviews, I compared, contrasted, and tabulated the student
comments on these papers with those that the teacher had made, categorizing them
accordingly: rapport building, meaning/content, elaboration, answered prompt,
identified the main idea, surface (grammar) correction, organization. I also noted
whether or not the students and teacher had placed any narrative comments at the
end of the peer review. This tabulation allowed me to both compare student and
teacher comments as well as see distinguishing characteristics of each.

Findings
Through the various class observations, survey, and peer comments, I gained
a grasp of some of the research questions framing this inquiry project. I will first
address the survey and then written comments students made on each other’s
papers.
Survey: In gauging whether or not students found peer review to be useful, I
asked Ss exactly this in the survey. All students responded affirmatively, that it was
useful, many saying it was “very useful” or even “outstanding.” Because these
affirmative responses crossed multiple geographical and cultural identities, it can be
inferred that these identities did not significantly impact their attitudes toward peer
review. Some of these responses included the following (responses were left in their
original state even if they were ungrammatical):
“feedback gives you chance to understand the work from other perspectives
(other than your own point of view)”
“when reading other people’s work makes me think on how I can be as
objective as I am with their work”
“It’s always great to receive a comment not matter it is a positive and
negative one.”
“I would not mind to give my opinion to the person if they’re confused by
their own writing, sometimes they’re too much in their mind and don’t know
how to organize and put the ideas in sentence.”
“Sometimes it’s difficult to make an appointment with a professor.”
“I’m not always sure if my thesis is clear or my explanation is well written.”
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 9
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
“It has helped me get over anxiety of whether I’m matching the standards
that are expected of me.”
“the feedback I receive from peers could not be as useful as the feedback
from teachers I can get during office hour…the problem is that all my
classmates are foreigners, so it’s not infrequent that we have a difficult time
to understand essays we write and give proper feedback for it.”
Another question which I sought to answer was whether students preferred
to receive written or oral feedback. Of the students who answered this question,
slightly more preferred to receive written to oral feedback. The students preferring
written feedback liked that they could refer to it later and was easier to understand.
Alternatively, those who preferred oral feedback did so because they could ask their
reviewers to clarify any questions that they may have. They also felt that oral
feedback was more clear.
A third research question had to do with how students affectively related to
peer review. The survey addressed this question by asking if it was uncomfortable
for them to review or be reviewed and why this might be so. There was some range
in these responses, with varying levels of discomfort. Some of these reasons are as
follows:
“It is not hard for me to review others work but I sometimes feel
uncomfortable when others read mine. Because I don’t want everyone to
know what I wrote.”
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 10
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
“I do not want to say straight in my peer’s face that they have these
mistakes.”
“At first, I was a little bit shy when a person who is not my teacher read my
papers. However, later, I found it was really helpful to me…”
“At first time, I felt little bit embarrassed because my poor writing skills
revealed to them. But when I became who examine the other peer’s writing I
realized that poor writing skills doesn’t matter…So from now on, I don’t feel
awkward anymore.”
“It was my first experience to read somebody else work…hence I was little bit
hesitant to write what I really felt but then when I thought that my work is
also going to be reviewed and I will like a honest feedback on it so that I can
improve myself, hence the other person should also get a honest feedback to
improve his work.”
“other students are too worried about ‘feelings,” and they try to be as much
polite as possible (GREAT) but they end up not being totally objective and
not helping the other student.”
“I admit it could be uncomfortable if got a peer review by someone I don’t
trust. They might only do it because it is in class assignment, which means
they might don’t care why I write.”
Because of these disparate replies to the survey freewrite, it is difficult to
generalize any findings on the affective response that students have to peer review,
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 11
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
though it does seem from the responses that some students may have had initial
misgiving which subsided over time. Additionally, some may have doubted the
authority of their peers, but seemingly not their good intent. It would be interesting
to note how these responses would compare to students engaging in computer-
mediated anonymous peer review.
Finally, in gleaning out other useful information from this survey and also
addressing the idea of peer review groups size, some students did respond that
they felt that the size of the group should be larger and that they should have longer
to review one another’s work. Of the 14 students who took part in the survey
writing prompt, 5 addressed the question of whether the process could be
improved. One respondent “didn’t think there was much to change or to improve.”
Three students suggested that at least two people should read your paper. One
student felt that there should be more time to respond to each other’s work.
Written comments on papers: For this section I compared the number of
student(peer) and teacher comments for an essay that the students wrote about an
article by Abbie Hoffman. These comments were tabulated in Appendix C. As
previously elaborated upon in the methodology section above, the categories for the
comments are: rapport build, meaning/content, elaboration, answers prompt,
identification of main idea, surface error, and organization. Additionally, I added up
how many questions were included in the comments, though the content of these
questions was tabulated with other comment types. I also noted for each of the five
papers whether or not the reviewer had made any narrative type comments at the
end of the expository essay, “end comments.”
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 12
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
Although, as discussed previously in the methods sections, there are various
methods for coding student and teacher responses, I have chosen this system after
some consulting with my esteemed TESOL writing/reading professor. I slightly
altered the classification due to my deciding to quantify teacher comments
according to a later draft of the essay rather than an initial draft that was a journal
type entry. Explanations for these codes, where they are not obvious, are as follows:
Rapport build: this refers to any conversational type of comment made, such
as “Interesting!!! Do you think that society has instilled fear in young people
today so they are passive citizens?”
Meaning/content: this section had the most number of comments, but
involved a broad number of possible comments, including: “clearer thesis
statement needed…don’t just summarize…unclear, and..what is the purpose
of this paragraph?”
Elaboration: this included over and under elaboration as well as the positive
comment, “good example!” The teacher gave 5 “good examples! and the
students gave 16. As noted by the peer review sheet in Appendix A, students
are supposed to make this notation where inspired to do so.
Answer prompt: students needed to answer prompt
Identify main idea: students were supposed to underline the main point of
each paragraph.
Surface: grammatical error. Students were not asked to address this.
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 13
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
Organization: this included comments such as “connect theses to points…this
should go elsewhere, and…begin paragraph with a clear reason/point.” This
also included where students noted an overview or summary.
Conclusion, discussion, and pedagogical implications
As previously elaborated upon, this study needs to primarily be seen as a
pilot project to lay the foundation for possible future studies, including various post-
peer review interviews. These interviews, along with the peer reviews, could shed
some important light on such issues as optimal sizes of peer review groups, good
amounts of time for students to review one another’s work (including perhaps some
days), and how to select peers to review one another’s work. Additionally, more
research comparing computer-mediated and in person peer review would be
interesting and useful, especially in identifying such affective issues as whether
anonymity negatively or positively affects the peer review process and also include
such issues as how increasing teacher oversight over the peer review process could
be beneficial or harmful to the process. It would also be interesting to survey how
students work best according to personality types or gender identification. In
classrooms with both L1 and L2 learners, it would be interesting to see how
different groupings of first language students and ELL compare.
Besides these implications for future studies which could come about as a
result of this pilot, there are other theoretical and pedagogical implications of this
project. The student reflections and feedback in the previous section speak for
themselves for the most part, not needing further elaboration. They have said
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 14
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
clearly enough why they found peer review to be a useful activity. Their affective
responses have also been noted. In the theoretical realm, this study indicated that
cultural identity does not have a strong influence on peer reviewer perceptions of
the usefulness of peer review. All students studied found the peer review useful
regardless of their geographical and cultural identity.
There are numerous pedagogical implications of this study, some of them
coming from the research and others from the observation and survey conducted.
These would include possible changes in peer review groupings, including having at
least two people review everybody’s paper, as was suggested in the research as well
as on some student survey responses as possible ways to improve the experience.
Additionally, based on the research and partially by the survey, it may also be
worthwhile to have students review one another’s work outside of class as well,
giving them more time to adequately review their partner’s paper.
Further study would need to be conducted in order to determine whether
students gave correct feedback and whether or not it was taken up by the peer
being reviewed. Additionally, as a researcher, it would be interesting to code teacher
and student comments according to such criteria as those utilized by Rysdam and
Johnson (2014) of: “corrections, praise, labels of failure, non sequitur comments,
guidance for improvement, and comments that provided an authentic
conversational response to the content” (p. 79). It would be interesting to see how
these comments fluctuated from class to class according to various peer review
systems. Some sort of replication of the ELI Review computer-mediated peer review
system (seen in Appendix D) would also be interesting to instigate, making peer
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review Literature Review English 732 Professor Kohls 15
Douglas Cronyn Peer Review in the ESL classroom ENG 732 Kohls
review a more frequent part of paper development, including suggestions by Reid
(2014) to use peer review for smaller issues such as choosing topics, design, or such,
as well as possibly expanding the process to make peer review into a major
assignment that includes revisions and reflections over an extended period of peer
review. There are many possible avenues for interesting study and practice are to be
had in understanding peer review better and personalizing it to my own
pedagogical and theoretical means. I look forward to engaging this in the years to
come.

Peer Review Writing Prompt
Writing professor Bill Hart-Davidson from Michigan State University said, “The most effective way that people learn as writers is from other writers, from their peers, from someone who is in a situation like they’re in, trying to do what they’re trying to do.” Do you agree with this statement? Think about your own experiences, and take 10 minutes to write a response. You may choose to respond to any or all of the following in your response.
Is peer review a useful activity for you? Do you use the feedback you receive from your peers?
Have you done peer review previously (outside of your peer reading experiences in English 209) and was it useful to you?
Is it difficult for you to review others work and have them review yours? Is this awkward or uncomfortable? If so, why do you think so?
Do you prefer written or oral feedback?
In your opinion, how could this peer review process be improved?
