説明

<jats:p> This study reports on part of a larger research project that investigates the role of students’ first language in learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in the context of Japanese higher education. Despite the prevalent use of peer review in EFL writing classes, students’ use of different languages and the effects of English proficiencies on collaborative interaction as mediated in written peer feedback remain underresearched. To add to the rather sparse literature, this study comparatively analysed peer feedback provided by high- and low-proficiency Japanese EFL students and conducted stimulated recall interviews to determine the factors affecting their language choices. The text analysis presented a stark contrast in students’ language choices stemming mainly from a difference in the type of feedback provided by each group: ‘corrective feedback’ versus ‘complimentary overall comment’. The stimulated recall interview accounts suggested that this polarization is attributable mostly to the proficiency gap between peer dyads and the affective need to contribute to the peer-review process. Inconsistent with the reports of previous studies that peer review benefits all students involved, the advanced-level participants voiced serious doubts about its effectiveness. </jats:p>
