Paper Abstract:
|
This study focuses on asynchronous peer feedback using an ICT tool supporting the academic writing process. More specifically, it investigates how language used by peers, in combination with results from current studies on ICT supported peer feedback, influences the usefulness, effectiveness, and outcome of peer feedback. Current studies on peer feedback using ICT tools reveal the complexity of asynchronous peer feedback and the variety of variables influencing the effectiveness and/or usefulness. Current studies mainly focus on specific variables that may, or may not benefit peer feedback and much less on how the nature of communication between peers or the language used by students within this process could also influence the variables under investigation. A corpus was constructed from peers, engaged in process writing using an online peer review tool SWoRD, to investigate how lexical, semantic, and syntactic features influence features reported in literature. The main goal of this study is to verify whether methods of corpus linguistics can be used as a method for analysis. |
