Promoting Draft Revision Motivation and Quality through Technology-Enhanced Peer Feedback Workshops
Educational Technology Research and Development, v73 n2 p1225-1243 2025
In the context of process-oriented writing instruction, the significance of engaging students in draft revision is widely acknowledged (McGarrell and Verbeem, ELT Journal 61:228-236, 2007). Nevertheless, L2 learners often exhibit limited motivation for writing, leading to inadequate revision efforts. This quasi-experimental study investigates the use and efficacy of technology-enhanced peer feedback workshops (PFWs) in comparison to traditional teacher oral feedback (TOF) in promoting student motivation for draft revision and revision quality. Over a 10-week academic English course, 18 EFL business freshmen received TOF for 3 writing tasks while they participated in PFWs facilitated by PeerMark for another 3 writing tasks in the first and second halves of the term respectively. Analysis of survey responses, interviews, peer feedback, students' written works, and the teacher's field notes reveals that PeerMark-based PFWs were well-received by students and had a positive impact on their motivation for draft revision and revision quality. Implications for pedagogical practices are discussed.
