Peer assessment

the assessment by language learners ('peers') of each other’s work to a standard provided by a teacher or as determined by the learners. Peer assessment in language education is commonly used in pairs or small groups to encourage learners to develop the ability to critically review their own and others' language and to foster autonomous learning skills.
