 stresses  that  the  process  of  cultivating  the  competence  of  writing  is  a closed-loop  process  of  constant  revision,  evaluation  and  improvement.  The  improvement  of  the  writing greatly depends on the feedback and comments obtained from others (Zhang Jisheng & Zhou Ping, 2002: 19-22). With the development of the process approach, as an important part of the process approach, peer review  has  attracted  more  and  more  scholars’  attention.  Previous  studies  overseas  have  proved  that  peer review  can  effectively  encourage  students  to  interact,  enable  students  to  be  the  subjectivity  of  review, which contributes to timely feedback and stimulating students’ interest and enthusiasm.  However, Chinese teachers and students are not familiar with this mode of peer review. According to a small-scale survey, the majority of English teachers still employ the traditional correcting method, and they believe it is a thankless task to review their students’ writings. Although reviewing student’s writing is an important step in language teaching, students’ improvement in writing skills cannot entirely rely on teacher feedback. Thus, the new effective teaching mode is needed to improve their English writing skills. In order to change this situation, the author decided to do an action research on peer review to solve the problems to improve students’ enthusiasm and writing skills.  It  is  uncovered  that  previous  studies  overseas  on  peer  review  are  most  conducted  in  the  second language environment. The domestic studies are relatively few and they mainly concentrate on the college students and junior college students who already have a higher English level. In the meanwhile, studies on senior high school students are rather fewer. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the relevant theoretical research and empirical research. Combining the methods of qualitative research and quantitative research, the  thesis  aims  to  employ  a  new  mode-peer  review  to  do  the  action  research  to  solve  the  problems  in English  writing  for  senior  high  school  students,  and  explore  whether  peer  review  can  improve  students English writing interest and writing skills.

Chapter Two Literature Review

2.1 Brief Review of Studies on Peer Review 
Peer means a person who is of equal standing with another in a group. There exist 3 patterns of peers in  English  teaching:  students  to  students,  students  to  teachers  and  teachers  to  teachers.  In  this  thesis,  the pattern  of  peers  especially  refers  to  students  to  students.  Review  in  the  writing  teaching  means  the  input which the reader provides to the writer, and its purpose is to provide information for th本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
