Integrating Peer Assessment into Speaking and Listening Courses : A Structured Classroom Approach

This academic report describes a structured, classroom-tested approach to integrating peer assessment into tertiary-level English communication courses emphasizing listening and speaking skills.Drawing on formative assessment theory and learner autonomy frameworks, the authors outline a four-stage process for implementing a peer-assessment framework that is both pedagogically grounded and user-friendly for both teachers and students.The framework's approach incorporates learner-generated criteria, authentic benchmarking, and technology-enhanced feedback.Insights from classroom applications and reflections on the authors' own experiences developing and implementing this framework suggest that peer assessment may not only improve communicative performance but also foster metacognitive awareness and support the development of assessment-capable learners.This academic report integrates existing research into a practical classroom framework.
