Peer review studies have been done for years. It has been found that by having these activities, learners will get benefits from the communication with the peer who can give them input to improve their writing performance. Peer review can be done face to face or online. Face to face peer review is done synchronously where two students are having discussion on their essay, whereas online peer review can be done synchronously or asynchronously. This preliminary study investigates how the application of synchronous online peer review in Academic Writing class can be implemented to help them to do revision and improve their writing skills. The participants of this study is 50 students of academic writing class from two different class. This is an experimental study where the students were treated to get peer review activities from the software which is uploaded in web. They did the practice twice with the shuffled questions. This was aimed that they would be ready to give review. Pre-test and post-test were conducted and Gracian questionnaire to know their learning styles was uploaded in the web for them to fill in order to know their learning styles. it was found out that there are some improvement and there is correlation between their academic skills and the learning styles.

Experiencing the Peer Feedback Activities with Teacher’s Intervention through Face-to-Face and Asynchronous Online Interaction: The Impact on Students’ Writing Development and Perceptions

“…Moreover, the research illustrated that by having a longer time and wider space to give comments, the students had more chances to read their friends' essays thoroughly and considered the feedback more detailed and clearer compared to when they were asked to share comments among their friends in a limited amount of time. This is in agreement with the research carried out by Aydawati, Rukmini, Bharati, and Fitriati (2018) stating that peer feedback activities organized in online environments made the students more focused. As a result, despite only giving corrections on local aspects such as grammar and mechanics, students provided more comments on global writing elements like content and ideas as well as paragraph organization (Jones, Garralda, Li, & Lock, 2006;Liu & Sadler, 2003).…”

Effectiveness of peer review as cooperative web-based learning method applied out-of-class in a role playing game: A case study by quasi-experimental approach

“…E.g. Shirgurkar (2018) conducted a study in a foreign language course whereby Lyman and Keyes (2019), Aydawati et al (2018) and Gordijn et al (2018) investigated the improvements in students`ability to write a research proposal. Not all of these studies use questionnaire-based pre-and post-surveys to quantify the effectiveness, and also the impact on the final exam grade itself is rarely investigated.…”

Enhancing Students’ Writing Skills through English Movies-Watching Reports; an Improvement of Linguistic Competences

“…It is clear that teachers'role in teaching writing determine whether this skill taught "easy" or "difficult" (Juniarti et al, 2017). One of the endeavors to enhance the students' writing skill is the improement in terms of teaching media and instruction (Aydawati et al, 2018). One of the teaching media to use in teaching writing skill is by using english movies.…”
