From the Paper:

"A rising issue in ESL writing class concerns how the writing of students should be evaluated in order for these students to become better and more effective writers. Traditionally, it is the teacher who is the one responsible for reading the drafts of the students' works and giving the works comments and suggestions so that the students can further revise their drafts to come up with better writing. However, there is a new trend on how students' writings are being evaluated and this is through the use of the student's own peers."
