Abstract

This study aims to describe the students’ writing skills before and after using peer feedback technique and to reveal the difference between the students’ writing skills before and after using peer feedback technique. This study applied a quasi-experimental study design panel. 29 eleventh grade students of SMA N I Pundong class XI Science 2 (XI IPA 2) were involved in this study, serving as the sample group. A pre-test was given before the treatment, and three posttests were done after the treatment (peer feedback technique) was implemented. The findings showed that the students’ mean score improved from pretest to all posttests. The main score of pretest was 12.00, the first post-test was 15.57, the second post-test was 17.26, and in the third post-test the mean was 18.32. Therefore, the study revealed that applying peer feedback technique in teaching writing can significantly improve students’ writing skills.
