Abstract

Within peer feedback, the act of involving students uploading their first drafts of English essays as writers, offering written comments as feedback givers, back-evaluating the helpfulness of peer responses as feedback receivers, and revising previous work as suggested. Research investigating features and development trajectories of engagement from the perspective of feedback givers is still in its infancy. Based on the requirements of the peer feedback task and in the context of teaching English writing in junior schools, this paper uses the survey research method to investigate the learning engagement of Chinese junior high school students in peer feedback and its dynamic changes.
