الملخص
English writing proficiency is a crucial skill for second language learners, yet traditional teaching methods often fall short in effectively enhancing students' writing abilities. Peer feedback has emerged as a promising approach to address this challenge, fostering collaborative learning environments and providing students with valuable feedback on their writing. Despite the growing interest in peer feedback, there remains a need to investigate its effectiveness in improving English writing proficiency among intermediate school students in second language writing settings. A quantitative research approach utilizing questionnaires was employed to gather data from 80 intermediate school students in Palestine. The study underscores the importance of incorporating peer feedback activities into English writing instruction to enhance students' writing proficiency and foster collaborative learning environments.
