Anonymous vs. Conference Peer Feedback for EAL Writing

Based on the interaction theory (Gass; Mackey, 2006; Long, 1996; Polio, 2012), it was hypothesised that the conference peer feedback group would outperform the anonymous peer feedback group in EAL writing. However, descriptive data showed a slight trend favouring the anonymous group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The ANTCONC files allowed the mapping of the most frequent words, collocations and combination of words present in the answers to the open-ended questions in the questionnaires.

本研究基于互动理论（Gass、Mackey，2006；Long，1996；Polio，2012）提出假设：在附加英语（English as an Additional Language, EAL）写作任务中，采用研讨式同伴反馈的小组表现将优于匿名同伴反馈小组。然而描述性统计数据仅呈现出微弱的倾向于匿名小组的趋势，且两组间未存在具有统计学意义的显著差异。ANTCONC语料文件可用于梳理问卷开放式问题作答内容中出现的高频词汇、搭配及词汇组合。
