This study compares the effects of two resources, a paper rubric (CR) or the comment bubbles from a word processor (CCB), to support peer co-evaluation of expository texts in primary education. A total of 57 students wrote a text which, after a peer co-evaluation process, was rewritten. To analyze the improvements in the texts, we used a rubric…

There has been substantial research on the effects of metacognitive instruction on improving L2 learners' language skills. However, little is known about the impact of such instruction on improving the effectiveness of L2 students' collaborative writing. To fill this research gap, we conducted a quasi-experimental study to investigate how such an…

This study investigates the impact of wiki-mediated collaborative writing (WMCW) on enhancing persuasive writing skills, 21st century skills, and writing self-efficacy of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) students, following the Vygotskian social-constructivist theory of learning. Two intact classes, comprising 79 ESP students, were randomly…

Google Docs has recently been suggested as an efficient collaborative tool for group writing.
