Abstract

The advantages of collaborative writing and peer feedback have contributed to give significant effect to the writing ability of L1 (first language) learners, L2 (second language) learners, and FL (foreign language) learners. The objective of this study was to find out the strengths and weaknesses of collaborative writing and peer feedback in an EFL intensive reading and writing coursework classroom especially in English education department students of Hasyim Asy’ari University. This study used a qualitative method where the data were described qualitatively. As this study used a qualitative approach, therefore observation and interview were used as instruments to collect the data. The result showed that collaborative writing and peer feedback strategies were not easy to be implemented in an EFL classroom. There were some strengths and weaknesses found during the observation. The strengths of these strategies showed that students could share ideas, improve grammar and vocabulary, make students more active, have good cooperation among peers, build self-confidence and make students happy. However, the strategies may not give any significant effect on the students’ cognitive ability in writing skills if most of the students have the low ability in mastering English. In addition, a smart student would prefer to write individually than in collaborative writing.

Abstract

The students’ writing ability was low because they were reluctant to cooperate with their friends when writing. Therefore, the researchers were interested in investigating the effectiveness of collaborative writing for teaching writing paragraphs in this post-pandemic. This study used a pre-experimental design, a one group pre-test post-test research design. Twenty-five students of an English department in a private university in East Java became the population as well as the sample. Pre-test and post-test of writing a paragraph were used to collect the data. The researchers used a descriptive statistics and a paired-sample test to analyze the data. The results show that the students’ writing average score increased from 68.6 to 81.2. Meanwhile, the result of a paired- sample test tells that sig. (2-tailed) was 0.000. It means that the implementation of collaborative writing was effective to teach writing paragraphs. Hopefully, the EFL teachers use collaborative writing in their writing classes.
