Peer review is a hot research issue in the field of education. As a formative evaluation method widely recognized internationally, the rationale for the mutual evaluation of English writing and the role of “study and promotion” are valuable, and its reliability and validity are widely confirmed in different educational environments around the world.

The research results prove that peer evaluation is beneficial to Chinese students, and it plays an important role in thesis writing and academic writing of English majors and non-professional students. Its effect is influenced by students’ second language level, grouping mode, comment focus, comment form, comment adoption, mediation, and cognitive and emotional factors. Therefore, it is necessary to Conduct in-depth research in different contexts and different research objects.
