A Contrastive Analysis on Webbased Intercultural Peer Feedback

This paper made a contrastive analysis on peer feedback generated by Chinese EFL learners and Native Speakers of English, who participated in a web-based Cross-Pacific Writing Exchange program. The analysis mainly focused on differences in terms of commenting size, nature and function; the pragmatic differences between two groups of learners were investigated as well. The present study afforded us lessons for peer review training program and provided pedagogical implications for L2 writing.
