摘要:The implementation of information and communication technology (ICTs) tools in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom has brought different practices and types of interaction. Online interaction allows teachers and students to use the target language beyond the classroom and provides students with more time to be exposed to and use the language. This case study aimed at understanding how a group of twelve students at Universidad de la Sabana, who participated in online forums as part of the requirements of a blended, EFL course, interacted online to provide peer-feedback of written compositions. It also analyzed how online interaction was undertaken when using online forums. Findings suggest that participants raised awareness of the relevance of editing to avoid possible language problems by reviewing their peers’ products and that the implementation of an online peer feedback as an assessment strategy reveals students’ beliefs towards language assessment.
