ELT365 · Day 198 — Peer feedback on writing — making it useful

Idea — Peer feedback works when learners have a clear task: not ‘is it good?’ but ‘find two grammar errors’ or ‘does every paragraph have a clear main idea?’

Example — Peer task card: ‘Read your partner’s paragraph. Underline: (1) the topic sentence, (2) one supporting detail. Is there a concluding sentence?’

Try — Design a peer feedback task card for a writing task you use. Observe whether learners engage more than with free feedback.
