- Abstract
Although a considerable number of studies on L2 students' compositions have shown that peer response has a profound and positive effect on the students' revision, few investigations have examined the results of electronic peer response in comparison with face-to-face peer response. The present study aimed to examine types of comments Chinese EFL university students made, how they used the comments in revising their writing, and the writing quality after revision. Comments made and actually used by the two groups were categorized and counted, and the students' essays were rated by five trained raters. The findings revealed that the students' focus on providing comments was different in both groups. The face-to-face peer response group produced more comments, thus resulting in a larger number of comments incorporated into revisions. However, the electronic peer response group produced more revision-oriented comments. In terms of writing quality, they significantly outperformed the face-to-face group.
