| description | This paper reports on the findings of a research project carried out in order to analyze how English as a foreign language writing evolves when eighth graders from José Max León School are engaged in developing worksheets that focus on peer feedback. This study emerged from my concern that most of my eighth-grade students did not consider my feedback during the writing process. To collect and manage the data of this action research study, I used the qualitative approach and three instruments: field notes, students’ artifacts, and a survey. The results presented a significant improvement in the students’ writing skills thanks to the implementation of peer feedback. Additionally, the worksheets implemented were relevant for students since they were based on appealing content, which contributed to enhancing their engagement and feedback participation. |

Este documento reporta los resultados de un proyecto de investigación llevado a cabo con el propósito de analizar cómo la escritura del inglés como lengua extranjera se desarrolla cuando estudiantes de octavo grado del Colegio José Max León son involucrados en el desarrollo de talleres enfocados a la retroalimentación entre pares. Este estudio surge de mi reflexión sobre las problemáticas encontradas en mi práctica docente, especialmente cuando note que mis estudiantes, en la mayoría de los casos, no consideraban la retroalimentación dada por el profesor, sobre todo en términos de su proceso de escritura. Para recoger y organizar la información de esta investigación-acción, utilicé el enfoque cualitativo y tres instrumentos: notas de campo, los escritos de los estudiantes y una encuesta. Los resultados presentan una importante mejora en las habilidades de escritura de los estudiantes gracias a la implementación de la retroalimentación entre compañeros. Además, los talleres implementados fueron relevantes para los estudiantes, ya que se basaron en contenido atractivo, el cual contribuyó a la mejora de su intervención y participación en la retroalimentación.
