| book description |

Yu and Lee investigate L2 learnersâ€™ cognition, agency, and engagement with peer feedback in various L2 writing contexts. This book brings together L2 writing practitioners and researchers from various sociocultural backgrounds to discuss, share, and investigate peer feedback in second language writing. The book offers a wide range of empirical research papers that explore (1) L2 learnersâ€™ cognitive processes in peer reviewing, (2) their use and understanding of peer feedback, (3) their engagement with peer feedback, and (4) their feedback literacy. These are investigated in diverse geographical settings, including countries and regions such as the USA, Hong Kong, and Iran, amongst others. The chapters offer new perspectives and evidence on how L2 learners with various backgrounds agentively participate in peer feedback activities in different writing contexts such as creative writing, school writing, and academic writing. Calling more attention to the theoretical perspective that aligns with the learning- oriented paradigm, the editors and contributors comprehensively provide the readers with insight into the roles of learners themselves in shaping the impact of feedback on student learning. This book is a valuable guide for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of applied linguistics and language education, as well as a viable resource for writing instructors, especially those that are involved in L2 writing.
