Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts, University of Toledo, English (as a Second Language).
This study analyzes the use of ESL students’ L1 and L2 during the peer review process in terms of the number of comments and suggestions produced and the types of comments and suggestions produced. For this study, during one session of peer review, the first pair of students was able to give written and spoken comments only in the L2, and the second pair of students was able to give written and spoken comments in both the L1 and the L2. The results of this study suggest that ESL students produce more written and spoken comments and suggestions when they use their L1 and L2 during peer review. The results also suggest that ESL students produce more comments and suggestions concerning meaning errors such as content, development, and organization errors and sentence structure errors when they use their L1 and L2 during peer review, and ESL students produce more comments and suggestions concerning surface errors such as grammar errors and spelling, punctuation, and word choice errors when they use only their L2 during peer review.
