RAMIREZ BALDERAS, Irais y GUILLEN CUAMATZI, Patricia María. Self and Peer Correction to Improve College Students’ Writing Skills. profile [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.179-194. ISSN 1657-0790. https://doi.org/10.15446/profile.v20n2.67095.
This paper describes college students’ writing development process during their foreign language classes throughout a semester. Self and peer correction were implemented to promote error awareness along with the use of an error code and error log in a fifth semester class. The results show that both strategies benefited students’ writing skills and self-awareness which in turn produced, among other outcomes, the development of critical self-assessment of their writing and responsibility for their own learning. This study highlights the importance of allocating class time for continuous training to allow students to systematize their writing practices.
