This study investigated the effects of peer feedback in an advanced translation class for Chinese English majors.
An intact class of 20 junior English majors from Nanjing University took part in this study. After receiving some training on giving
peer feedback ,they went through two translation-feedback-revision cycles. Six students were randomly selected for follow-up in-
terviews. Data analysis yields the following results: 1) Peer feedback was effective; 2) The students incorporated most of the
feedback into their revision and produced significantly improved translations; 3) The direction of translation did not seem to affect
the quality and incorporation of peer feedback; 4) The students held positive attitudes towards the use of peer feedback in the
translation class. The researchers concluded that as a form of collaborative learning ,peer feedback is effective in translation
teaching and learning.
