Abstract

Academic writingis a social practice in which the writer interacts with both texts and peopleand uses the interaction as a learning resource (Morton, Storch, and Thompson 2015,2; Hyland 2006, 41).Previous studies have examined the interaction between postgraduate researchstudents and teachers. There is still relatively little research on the peerfeedback practices of postgraduate research students. This paper reports on acase study of the peer feedback process of five postgraduate students. Thepaper focuses on how peer feedback is performed and on the factors affectingthe process. The case study was conducted in a master program in translationstudies in a foremost Chinese university. The findings offer insights into therole of peer feedback in advancing academic literacy and forming scholarlycommunities in an emerging discipline. Pedagogical implications for academicwriting teaching and recommendations for future research are also discussed.
