The Implementation of Peer Assessment of Speaking by Senior High School English Teachers: A Qualitative Descriptive Study

Abstract

This study aimed to explore how English teachers design and implement peer assessment of speaking in senior high school English classes. Speaking skills are crucial in English language learning; however, many students in Indonesia struggle with speaking English (Tridinanti, 2018). In this case, a learning approach that is more directed towards the use of language in real contexts is needed, and Peer assessment is a learning concept that emphasizes collaborative, active learning. Therefore, this research aims to explore English teachers’ experiences in designing and implementing peer assessment of speaking in English classes at a senior high school.
