The role of peer-editing in helping ESL vocational college freshman revise their writing descriptions grammatically

This study investigated two English language-teaching methods used in National Kaohsiung Hospitality College. They are Grammar Translation Method (GTM) and Cooperative Language Learning (CLL). The participants, composed of students from different departments, were all freshmen. A total of 97 participants were divided into two classes, depending on their scores of Language Training and Testing Center (LLTC). LEVEL 1 had the highest scores; while LEVEL 6 had the lowest. Inside the two classes, there were a control group and a treatment group, which both GTM and CLL were applied to for one semester. The findings of this study were as follows: on the whole, participants at both levels demonstrated a lower rate of errors under the CLL teaching method in comparison to GTM even though the difference at both levels was not substantially significant after one semester. According to the outcome of the questionnaire in chapter five, CLL exercised a great impact on these participants after one semester.
