As teachers of English as a second language (L2) in web communication, our aim is to help L2 students improve their spoken and written English language skills. Teacher feedback has been shown to do this in some cases. However, only using teacher feedback can put huge pressure on the teacher, both in terms of time and resources. This paper describes and discusses our attempt at introducing peer feedback as an additional way of providing students with feedback on their English writing. Before conducting this study, we did not know if peer feedback would be feasible in our teaching environment or whether it would benefit the students and teachers. Our aim was to establish a status quo of our students’ abilities in providing and implementing peer feedback. We introduced peer-feedback tasks and focused on the types of feedback provided by the students, the phrasing of the feedback, both when implemented and not implemented by the students, and the types of revisions made by the students. Our findings allowed us to develop peer-feedback process guidelines for web communication as a way towards improving written feedback processes in higher education, and hopefully for others to adapt and implement in their own communication classrooms.

The objectives of the research are to examine whether: (1) Peer Feedback Technique is more effective than Teacher Feedback Technique to teach writing for the tenth grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro; (2) the students having high creativity have better writing ability than those having low creativity for the tenth grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching techniques and students’ creativity to teach writing for the tenth grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro. The method applied in this research was an experimental study. It was conducted at the tenth grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro. It consists of six classes. The Samples were two classes of six classes chosen by using cluster random sampling. Each class was divided into two groups (the students having high and low students’ creativity). The data were analyzed by using Multifactor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test of 2 x 2 and Tuckey test. Based on the data analysis, there are some research findings that can be drawn. They are (1) Peer Feedback Technique is more effective than Teacher Feedback Technique to teach writing for the tenth grade students of SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Metro; (2) the students having high creativity have better writing ability than those having low creativity; (3) there is an interaction between teaching techniques and students’ creativity to teach writing in which Peer Feedback Technique is more appropriate to teach writing for students having high creativity and Teacher Feedback Technique is more appropriate to teach writing for students having low creativity. In short, the effect of teaching technique depends on students’ creativity.
