Resumen
CF is a useful tool to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) (Bitchener, 2008). Data
from several studies suggest that students highly benefit from teacher feedback as well as
from peer feedback (Ellis, Loewen & Erlam, 2006; Bitchener, 2008; Bitchener & Knoch,
2008). Many studies have investigated the benefits and effects of peer feedback, and the

CF is a useful tool to learn English as a foreign language (EFL) (Bitchener, 2008). Data
from several studies suggest that students highly benefit from teacher feedback as well as
from peer feedback (Ellis, Loewen & Erlam, 2006; Bitchener, 2008; Bitchener & Knoch,
2008). Many studies have investigated the benefits and effects of peer feedback, and the
effectiveness of teacher vs. peer feedback. However, very few have been conducted in
secondary schools and even fewer have been carried out with students with low
proficiency levels.
The present study aims to compare the effects of peer and teacher feedback on secondarylevel
EFL students in the north of Spain. Two tests were simultaneously conducted and
corrected either by peers or by the teacher in parallel groups following a different order.
Both had been preceded by a pre-test and followed by a post-test. With the aim of
investigating the relative effectiveness of peer feedback vs. teacher feedback on grammar
accuracy, the results of the post-tests were compared.
Findings of the present study indicate that both peer and teacher feedback are effective
teaching tools to use in the classroom. Moreover, results indicate that peer feedback may
be slightly more effective than teacher feedback. It seems thatspecific circumstancessuch
as the age, socioeconomic status and proficiency level of the participants may have
influenced the results [--]
