However , to what extent peer feedback is effective , and what type of peer feedback provision could best cast positive results on the writing proficiency of L2 learners is still a heat topic of debate and controversy . This study , however , looks at the quality of the peer feedback provision from a whole novel angle , and that is drawing a comparison between the peer written corrective feedback which is always provided by a fixed partner , by a varying randomly assigned partner , or by a hybrid of both fixed and random partners for the first and the second half of the treatment period . To investigate this empirically , three 35 - member groups of intermediate learners were assigned to the three modes of feedback provision , and received a treatment of 22 sessions . The Analysis of the Variance on the post - test results depicted the existence of a statistically significant difference between the progress rates of L2 writing progress in the learners of the three groups . The Post - Hoc Scheffe Test determined that the significant difference was between the fixed partner and random partner groups , and also between the fixed partner and the integrated partner group . Overall , the learners who received written corrective feedback from various partners in the whole treatment period staged the most successful performance in the post - test .
