(2021) In NJES: Nordic Journal of English Studies 20(2). p.183-206- Abstract
- This article explores ways of encouraging student engagement with feedback on literature essays. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, we have developed a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks on an introductory-level English literature course. With a focus on our two-step model for student self-reflection, this article highlights some challenges in encouraging active and transformational student engagement with feedback they receive from their peers as well as from their teacher. Based on a study of 243 student reflections submitted during an introductory-level English literature module at a Swedish university from 2018 to 2019, we propose that scaffolding students’ reflection...

- Abstract (Swedish)
- In this article, we explore the importance of feedback on students’ literature essays and challenges in encouraging active and transformational engagement with such feedback. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, our model consists of a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks that students are required to complete. Based on a study of 245 student reflections submitted in an introductory-level English Literature module at a Swedish university in 2018 to 2019, we propose a model for developing effective feedback practices on student writing.
