Exploring students’ perceptions of integrating Wiki technology and peer feedback into English writing courses

This journal studied about applied integrated Wiki technology (writing course) and peer review to an English as a foreign language writing class. The objective of the study was to investigate whether this system, as collaborative platform, would improve students writing skill. This study was conducted over one semester and involved 32 student participants of English department at a college in Taiwan which used a socio-cultural theoretical framework, semi-structured interviews and focus survey on participants to gain the result. The findings revealed that meaningful social interaction appears to play a significant role with regard to students’ perceived benefits of this collaborative writing process. Most of students explicitly stated that they felt positive toward their ability to apply Wiki and peer feedback to writing instruction. But somehow they faced both functional and psychological obstacles to use the new tools, indicating the need to alter their traditional learning practices to learn embrace new technology-enhanced learning systems.
