Abstract

Peer-reviewed teaching and learning, an educational approach where peers evaluate each other’s work, has garnered significant attention in academic research and practice. This article aims to conduct a thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of peer-reviewed teaching and learning methods across diverse educational settings, particularly in English language instruction. Utilizing a comprehensive analysis of current literature, this review explores the effects of peer-reviewed methodologies on academic achievement, analytical thinking abilities, social connections, and student involvement in English language education. Moreover, it delves into the obstacles and most effective methods for introducing peerreviewed techniques in English language instruction. The findings highlight the multifaceted benefits of peer-reviewed teaching and learning while illuminating areas for further research and improvement in English language education.
