Mittan 1989 said that " empowerment applies to everything."(p.207) I disagree with this sentence. Empowerment applies to teaching, but it is not the peer review process. The peer review process is a teacher's method helping to develop student's writing. It is useful method.
The main idea of the peer review process is a group. The writer recieves reactions, question and feedback form a partner who is being a reader. The partner give a strong motivation and reinforcing for the writer.
Furthermore, chosing the peer group size is importance. Mittan said that " Pairings of low-low and low-high generally are not effective."(p.214) I agree with this sentence, becuase the abilities of pairs are the factors causing the peer review process are not effective. Writers are not developted, if parring is low-low ability. While parring of low-high ability is not effctive, becuase there is a gap of ability.
Finally, the peer review is good; It can help to develop writing process. Furthermore, partners is the important factor. If the partners' feedbacks have the biases, the peer review process is not effective.
