چکیده:
This study compared teacher revision with peer revision on comprehension and
production of relative clauses (RCs) in Iranian EFL students’ writing performance.
Data were collected from 109 Iranian intermediate language learners studying at
Imam Khomeini International University and Kharazmi University. After being
homogenized by taking Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency (MTELP),
they were divided into three groups (teacher revision, peer revision, and control).
They all sat for the pretest. Then, the students in teacher revision and peer revision
groups underwent eight treatment sessions, practicing teacher revision and peer
revision respectively. The control group, however, did not receive any treatment.
Then, the posttest was administered to all the groups. ANCOVA was employed to
compare the performances of the groups. The results indicated that both teacher and
peer revision were beneficial to students. However, peer revision led to better
comprehension and production of RCs. The findings may carry implications for
language educators, language learners, and language teachers.

com Abstract This study compared teacher revision with peer revision on comprehension and production of relative clauses (RCs) in Iranian EFL students’ writing performance.
4 Journal of Modern Research in English Language Studies 5(3),1-29 (2018) Nowadays, peer revision plays a vital role in the learners’ writing development because it is an approach whose focus is on the learner autonomy and centeredness (Sarfraz & Akhtar, 2013).
For this reason this study aimed to explore if peer revision influences production and comprehension of relative clauses in Iranian EFL writing performance.
Is there any significant difference between the effect of peer revision and teacher revision on the EFL learners' comprehension of relative clauses while controlling for their pretest?
