The primary purpose of this study was to determine to what extent peer feedback would affect eighth-grade students’ oral production. First, an action research method was implemented following the steps to “identify a problem, collect relevant information about the problem, take action, measure it using various methods, and interpret the results” (Land, 2000, p. 3). Subsequently, to help students express themselves in the target language, a lesson plan was created using a backward-design planning framework where the transfer goal and assessment criteria were chosen first. This research proved that peer feedback could help improve students’ oral production. In addition, the results of this study went beyond previous reports, showing a significant improvement in students’ grammar and vocabulary aspects of their oral production.
