Abstract
This paper explores peer review as a tool for enhancing writing instruction in second-language
settings. While acknowledging its benefits in fostering collaboration, communication, and
student learning, the paper addresses challenges associated with students fully utilizing received
peer feedback (Matthew, Erik, & Kevin, 2019). Drawing on insights from research, the paper
proposes strategies for instructors to maximize the effectiveness of peer review. These strategies
include providing clear guidelines and expectations, offering training on constructive feedback,
and incorporating structured activities with rubrics. Additionally, the paper highlights the
importance of facilitating reflection and revision to encourage students to actively integrate peer
feedback into their writing process. The paper concludes by emphasizing the transformative
potential of peer review in fostering not only skilled writers but also insightful learners who
thrive in collaborative learning environments.
