Abstract

As a new way of assessment, peer assessment has been increasingly applied in Second Language Teaching in modern times. This paper aims to adopt peer assessment in public speaking class and explore whether it has an influence on students' public speaking ability. Through analyzing their performance of pre-test and post-test concerning public speaking assignments, recordings and written feedback, the author finds that students' depth comments increase while surface comments decrease, besides, they can apply what they learn from other performances to their own speaking exercises. This indicates that peer assessment helps to improve students' public speaking ability.
