In Vietnam, the teaching of English as a foreign language begins formally from as early as the elementary level up to the tertiary level and is regarded as one of the most important academic subjects at all levels‘ curricula In teaching English, attention is paid to all four skills in second language acquisition though it is not equal Not until reaching tertiary level can students learn writing in a systematic way From my two year-experience as a university instructor of English, specialized in teaching writing to freshmen at University of Languages and International studies, Vietnam National University (ULIS – VNU), I recognized that the students faced many difficulties in this important subject To help them overcome those problems, at first, as any novice teachers, I tried my best to correct or give comments to all my students‘ problems in their writing However, gradually, I recognized that correcting all students‘ mistakes was not a good way to help them as it made them feel demotivated when receiving a corrected version which was full of red ink Moreover, when all the problems were identified, students did not think much about them Therefore, they continued making the same mistakes even though such mistakes had been repeatedly pointed out to them Various kinds of feedback such as direct feedback, indirect feedback, written feedback, spoken feedback, and focused feedback were applied, but no obvious difference was noticed In the process of finding a solution to the problem in my writing class, accidentally came to my mind was the notion of ―peer feedback‖ or ―peer response‖ by Rollinson (2005) in his article entitled ―Using peer feedback in the ESL writing class‖ In his article, he stated that peer feedback has been generally advocated in the literature as ―a potentially valuable aid for its social, cognitive, affective, and methodological benefits‖ (Mendoca and Johnson, 1994, Villamin and de Guerrero, 1996 as cited in Rollinson, 2005, p 1) However, in applying peer feedback, more problems than benefits were witnessed The reasons for that have preliminarily TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

lack of basic knowledge and experience in peer response activity In order to find a workable solution to the given problem, I have consulted many materials and read many previous studies on the field Stanley (1992) suggested training students to be familiar with the genre of their peer‘s writing and using effective communication in peer review The results of her experiment research revealed that the experimental group made more responses and more types of responses than the control group Zhu (1995) utilized a small group conference approach in his experiment research to L1 peer responders in freshman composition classes The researcher came to a conclusion that such peer training brought about significant effects on both the quantity and quality of peer feedback Min (2006) carried out a research on peer training to examine the effects of trained peer review on EFL students‘ revision types and quality The researcher also asserted the positive effects of trained peer review on students‘ feedback However, the benefits of peer review training on the improvement of students‘ peer feedback and writing quality has never been verified in Vietnamese context Therefore, with the support in the theory and the urge of finding a practical solution to improve the practice of the peer feedback, I decided to conduct this study on peer review training Aims of the study and research questions: The study is designed to investigate the effects of peer review training on the quality of students‘ peer review activity at ULIS – VNU It aims to achieve three objectives - To investigate the quantity of students‘ comments to their peer‘s writing before and after peer review training - To investigate the quality of students‘ comments to their peer‘s writing before and after peer review training - To investigate students‘ reactions to peer review training as both writers and reviewers TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

aims, the research questions of the study are set out as follows 1) Is there any difference in quantity of students‘ comments to their peer‘s writing before and after peer review training? 2) Is there any difference in quality of students‘ comments to their peer‘s writing before and after peer review training? 3) What are students‘ reactions to peer review training? Scope of the study: Most of first year students, when entering university, are beginners in academic writing and peer review activity, so they have a lot of difficulties and need much help provided by teachers One thing teachers can for their students is the provision of peer review training so that students know how to give comments to their peer‘s writing effectively, from which they can co-learn and improve their own writing Therefore, the scope of this study is limited to investigating the impacts of peer review training on first year students only Accordingly, the subjects chosen for this study are first year students at Faculty of English Language Teacher Education, ULIS – VNU who finished their first semester at university and are in their second one Research methodology: To find out the answers to the proposed research questions within the scope of the study, the main research method employed in this study is an action research whose intervention was in the form of discussion, in-class modeling as suggested by Min (2005) and small group conference as adapted from Zhu (1995) Participants were a class of 18 students where the researcher worked as a writing teacher In order to collect sufficient data to fully address the three given research questions, this study utilized two data collection instruments The first instrument is writing analysis The data for TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Impacts.of.peer.review.training.on.freshmen''s.peer.feedback.activity.at.Faculty.of.English.Language.Teacher.Education ULIS.VNU 81 APPENDIXES Appendix 1: PEER REVIEW GUIDELINES I Paragraph organization: Topic sentence: - Is there a topic sentence?

my family, I love grandmother most She has lived with my family since I was born She has looked after me from that time now, so my grandmother is considered as my second mother This year, she is in her seventies but she is still strong Her complexion has tortoiseshell spot but her face reveals kind She has long and snow-white hair with a small bun and all-black eyes I make sure that when you meet her, you will be attracted by her warm voice Thanks to her voice, she helps to sink deeply in a pleasant sleep with many wonderful stories She likes joyful atmosphere of the family, so on Saturdays or Sundays, she holds a small party to gather the off springs Especially, she is extremely humorous but very strict with our study Collecting many idioms and teaching us are her hobby According to the old‘s habit, she often goes to pagoda to pray for blessings for the off springs and to keep her mind at peace after hard work of a month I hope that I will always be as optimistic and

emotions about Catba island‘s natural beauty The scenery which impressed me first is magnificent widespread beaches with golden sand which looked as glorious as the sun The murmur of waves reminded me lulling song in my child hood I felt the salty scent of water here so different from other seas In particular, the stunning view at sunset over Lanha bay gave me strong inspiration On the golden background of the horizon and the dark blue of the sea, the seagull hovered in the sky and the afterglow gradually faded All contributed immense and fascinating space to contemplate Going along the beaches, I saw a sight of sheer vertical cliffs with spectacular rock relief and bizarre rock formations Below the cliffs, there were a lot of awe inspiring caves and grottos Going through these caves gave me thrilling feelings like an explorer because of horrified darkness and echoes of the wind and waterfalls Coming out of the caves, I visited tropical rainforests with a variety of plants and animals The chirping of insects and song of birds among thousands of luxuriant tall tress was the same in the forests in fairy tales Not only scenic beauty endowed by nature but also inhabitants here

seventies but she is still strong Her complexion has tortoise-shell spot but her face reveals kind She has long and snow-white hair with a small bun and all-black eyes I make sure that when you meet her, you will be attracted by her warm voice Thanks to her voice, she helps to sink deeply in a pleasant sleep with many wonderful stories She likes joyful atmosphere of the family, so on Saturdays or Sundays, she holds a small party to gather the off springs Especially, she is extremely humorous but very strict with our study Collecting many idioms and teaching us are her hobby According to the old’s habit, she often goes to pagoda to pray for blessings for the off springs and to keep her mind at peace after hard work of a month I hope that I will always be as optimistic and joyful as her

song in my child hood I felt the salty scent of water here so different from other seas In particular, the stunning view at sunset over Lanha bay gave me strong inspiration On the golden background of the horizon and the dark blue of the sea, the seagull hovered in the sky and the afterglow gradually faded All contributed immense and fascinating space to contemplate Going along the beaches, I saw a sight of sheer vertical cliffs with spectacular rock relief and bizarre rock formations Below the cliffs, there were a lot of awe inspiring caves and grottos Going through these caves gave me thrilling feelings like an explorer because of horrified darkness and echoes of the wind and waterfalls Coming out of the caves, I visited tropical rainforests with a variety of plants and animals The chirping of insects and song of birds among thousands of luxuriant tall tress was the same in the forests in fairy tales Not only scenic beauty endowed by nature but also inhabitants here attracted
