The study aimed to identify EFL students’ perceptions of peer feedback in writing classes at a university in HCM city. 60 English - major students participated in the study. The researcher employed a quantitative method with survey questionnaire as the instrument. The questionnaire was designed the students to express their perceptions about the importance and the benefits of peer feedback in their writing as well as their problems when they give and receive peer feedback. The data collected was analyzed, using SPSS software version 26. The results indicated that participants had positive responses towards peer feedback in learning writing skills though they faced some difficulties in those activities. Additionally, the learners responded that feedback from their peers about their writing performance provided them certain benefits, which contributed to improving their final writing products later.References
