Practice In class (longer writing, more difficult)

EX1: Read the input text on page 187-188 in the textbook: Learning Teaching -
The Essential Guide to English Language Teaching (Jim Scrivener)
Write a review paragraph to show your understanding of the topic: Lexis in the
classroom.

EX2. Write a review (about 200-250 words) for the literature chapter of the research
topic “A study on the effectiveness of Peer Review technique in Enhancing Writing
Skills for English-majored freshmen at IUH”. The review will be based on the
following results from previous studies. Apply APA style in your in-text citation.

Results from previous studies:

1. Hajeid claims that peer correction would help achieve many goals such as
grammatical and lexical errors. It enables students to recognize content problems
as well as organization, development of ideas, and clarity of writing.
2. According to Topping (2009), “peer review is a formative evaluation tool that
allows students to evaluate their peer’s performance, written products, and results
in production quality improvement.” (p.23)
3. Elboshi presents that teachers employ peer review in order to give their students
the chance to assess and comment on each other’s work.
4. Buyse points out that “when students work cooperatively to assess each other’s
writings, they are given the opportunity to: find real readers for their work, be
confident writers and decision-makers rather than relying passively on teacher’s
feedback.” (p.382)
5. Breuch defines peer review as a response to one another’s writing for the purpose
 of improving writing.
