Abstract

This study investigated students’ perceptions of their interactions in peer review groups in an ESL (English as a Second Language) business writing course supported by network platforms: QQ, Tencent Classroom and Tencent Meeting. To eliminate the reluctance in commenting on peers’ writing under Asian culture context, 21 EFL (English as a Foreign Language) junior English majors were trained to conduct peer reviews using both asynchronous and synchronous network-based methods. Four review activities were observed. The result shows that a writing task turns out to be a process of collaboration rather than simply independent efforts. Peer review training and the practice break the “deadlock” and set students free from the fear of hurting peers’ feeling. ESL students acquire the way to make judgment according to accepted criteria, and grow up to be autonomous learners.
