    "title": "\"Two Heads Are Better Than One”: A Curricular Innovation Through Peer Feedback in a Low-Proficiency ESL Writing Class",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Peer feedback benefits in composition have been researched in\nvarious EFL and ESL contexts. Typically carried out in intermediate to advanced proficiency–level contexts, little has been done\nwith low-level students, potentially because of greater perceived\nchallenges with syntactic, grammatical, and linguistic knowledge.\nThis curriculum-inquiry project investigates the effects of using\na collaborative approach rather than an evaluative approach for\npeer feedback in low-proficiency–level writing tasks. Working\nalongside an existing reading and writing curriculum, the peer\nfeedback innovation seeks to support the overall course goals\nwhile providing explicit, scaffolded support to navigate the necessary pragmalinguistic knowledge, collaborative attitudes, and\npeer feedback tasks. In addition to the student-reported benefits\nof feedback and linguistic evidence of their ability/inability to incorporate collaborative attitudes, the inquiry ends with practical\nsuggestions for writing instructors of low-proficiency students.",
