To develop the English competence of Vietnamese people, many changes have been made in the education system in the context of Vietnam, and one of them is changing teaching and assessment methods. Peer assessment is recommended as a potential assessment method to help learners develop their writing ability. This experimental study was conducted to test whether training learners to use analytic rubrics for peer assessment helps them develop their writing skills/ performance. The intervention was conducted in a university setting with the participation of 22 students. The results showed a significant difference in the students’ writing performance before and after the intervention. It showed that the intervention positively impacted their writing performance, especially the way they developed ideas and used words and grammar structures. However, in-depth interviews showed that learners with sufficient writing performance before participating in the intervention did not develop much, or even their writing performance was negatively affected. The implications are drawn and presented in this article. |
