Abstract
Due to COVID-19, many activities in the composition classroom, including peer review, were moved online – and remain online even as in-person classes resume. These online peer review sessions often involve multilingual students given the increasingly multilingual nature of our world. This case study examines how multilingual students’ knowledge of multiple languages impacts the way they approach online peer review in first-year writing classrooms containing both multilingual and monolingual students. Data were collected through an examination of the comments left by students during online peer review sessions in two sections of Comp I and through interviews with multilingual students who were enrolled in these sections.
Scheduling
