ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to describe the types of negotiations and the use of criticizing strategies manifested during peer review interactions. Four low-level learners and four native speakers(NSs) of English participated in peer review sessions. The L2 learners, novice peer reviewers, were compared to the NSs who were familiar with peer review tasks from their English writing classes from high school through college. Data were collected through interactive peer review activities. The participants were asked to exchange the first draft of their essays and give suggestions following peer review guidelines. The peer review interactions were audiotaped and analyzed for types of negotiations and criticizing strategies. Discourse analysis revealed that whereas the NSs employed negotiation types to discuss opinions and provide constructive suggestions, the L2 learners mainly discussed the procedures of the peer review task and showed difficulties in comprehending the essay drafts. In realizing criticisms, compared to the NSs, the L2 learners used a relatively narrow range of criticism strategies and mitigating devices. The study analyzes the learner behavior and suggests pedagogical implications for enhancing L2 peer reviews.
