Due to the lack of immediate teacher feedback on students' essays caused by heavy teaching loads, an approach to integrating peer feedback into EFL writing classrooms in Chinese colleges has been introduced to enhance students' writing abilities. This approach involves eight steps: peer feedback training at the beginning of the semester, students completing the first draft of their writing, the teacher providing feedback on three to four writing samples, the teacher sharing this feedback with the class, students giving feedback on their peers' essays, the teacher coding the feedback samples, the teacher sharing the coding results with the class, and finally, students completing the second draft based on the feedback. These steps are repeated for each writing task. This approach aims to provide EFL teachers with practical implications on how to effectively train students' writing abilities through the integration of peer feedback.
