Genre-based Rubric for Peer Feedback

Abstract

Peer feedback in writing is considered an important stage of pedagogy. Peer feedback in L2 writing has been investigated through different lenses. Although a genre-based rubric for writing assessment is offered in the literature of feedback, a well-defined, principled and expert-like rubric with genre specifications is missing from peer feedback literature. This study offers a literature review of peer feedback literature, pinpoints the gaps, and provides a new, student-friendly 3x3 rubric for argumentative genre in writing through the amalgamation of frameworks in the literature. The pedagogical implication and application stages of the new genre-based rubric are discussed at the end.
