The Peer Review Process

Dear all

After reading the peer review process: harnessing students’ communicative power(1989), I got some idea about my writing
Mittan said that there are four steps to guides students in responding to each others’ writing. I agree with him because he has many experiences with English as a second language (ESL), even if I have studied English as foreign language.
The peer review process can be improved my writing. All comments of my friends or my teacher are the good thing for student’s developing. So far so good I hope I keep on doing well in my writing.

Thanks.

A qualitative translation research

Dear Ajarn Karn

First of all, I searched the word “qualitative research” on the internet and I found many meaning, one of them which I like belongs to Leechai Sringoenyoung Ph.D. He said that qualitative research is termed the constructivist approach or naturalistic, the interpretative approach, or the postpositivist or postmodern perspective. It began as a counter movement to the positivist tradition in the late 19th century.

In my opinion, qualitative research means relating to the nature or standard of something, rather than to its quantitative research and qualitative research involves with interview to professional in related field.
In addition, qualitative research can be compared and analyzed data in deep. Nevertheless, I still like quantitative research because I think it easier than qualitative research.

Thanks

The Peer Review Process

I understand the peer review that is the writing about suggestion, question or opinion after the reading of another' work (friend or general person).

The peer review process help to improve the writing. I think the peer review help the writer more than the reader because the comment of the reader make the writer get idea and rewrite the work. I'm not sure. The comment of Aj.Karn is the peer review, isn't it? But the comment help my writing .

The Peer Review Process

Mittan talk about the peer review process that can develop writing.

Peer review process is like revise process but do by friends in class. This process help to develop writing because the peer read and ask quations about the paper. These questions are advices for the writer to improve his/her work.



Thank you,

Kani

The Peer Review Process

Dear all,

This article refers to the process that can help the students to improve their writing. There are four steps of the peer review process(P.208).

I agree with this sentences "I think the most important problem for us during the in-class writing is the lack of time."(P.210) Because I think the time is the important thing that indicate the abilities of the student because of lacking of time. The student can not create the details of the essay completely. For example, the class of Ajan Karnchanok, after she have already taught me and my friends, she would order the topic for writing in that week. And then, the student would create their writing in that class and they have not already finished in that class. Everybody must to do the essay after they finished the class.

After, I read the example in this article such as Hadi. I think I look like Hadi because I always read the essay each line very slowly and I lack any sense of cohension. Thus, I try to improve my skill of writing as well.

The Peer Review Process.

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.

Best Regards
Ben

Breaking News

I saw Ajan Sripen today. She told me that she will be busy this Thrusday, so her class will be on Firday afternoon instead. If I don't forget, this week, Ajan Karnchanok's class will be on Thurday morning, won't it? I told Ajan Sripen that anyway.

See you in Wednesday class

The peer review process

Dear all,

The author suggested about the peer review process. He requires helping the students to improve their writing. He explains about the four steps of the peer review process (p.208), including reaction and responses of the students.

I realize these suggestion advantages for both the students and the reviewers because the peer review process permits abilities in their writing. Furthermore, he informs his experience about his students such as Hadi.

I like this article, it good for me too.

Thanks
