This study investigated how students develop their learning community in a Japanese university EFL writing classroom. Four students among 16 students were selected based on the results of the pre-questionnaire. They had different perceptions about peer review. In the end, all of the students showed their positive perceptions toward peer review to greater or lesser degrees. The post-questionnaire and interviews revealed that their satisfaction with their community contributed to the positive perceptions.

My name is Tomoka Kaneko. I have been reforming and developing the English curriculum at my school. I have been searching for ways to help Japanese EFL university students best benefit from language learning. I am currently interested in effects of using portfolios in a writing class and a study-abroad program.
