Abstract

This study explores students’ perspectives on applying peer feedback in the translation practice classrooms. Specifically, the study seeks students’ reflections on the benefits and/or challenges when they perform peer feedback and their views on the extent to which peer feedback helps them improve their translations. At the same time, the study also polled students’ opinions on whether or not peer feedback should be applied in translation practice classes. By conducting interviews with 15 students after a translation practice course that applied peer feedback, the study explored issues related to peer pressure and peer competition in the process of implementing peer feedback that previous related studies have not discussed. Although the research scale is small, the findings still bring implications for applying peer feedback in the classroom such as designing a checklist, familiarizing learners with peer feedback and raising learners’ awareness of the benefits and responsibilities of those performing and receiving peer feedback.
