For the past thirty years, language education researchers have concentrated on improving writing abilities. Several methods and strategies have been used by language teachers to enhance the students’ writing skills. One of these crucial methods for enabling the students to write their thoughts more effectively is peer feedback. The researchers also defined peer feedback as helpful criticism from other students majoring in the same subject. It enables the language learners to deal with issues of writing anxiety, discomfort, and mistake-making fear. Additionally, peer feedback allows the students to comment on one other’s papers. Peer criticism sharpens the language learners’ perceptions and critical faculties. This study aims to highlight the value of peer feedback in classroom writing. Data collection method included a questionnaire distributed to the participants of this study which included 90 participants from Tishk International University (TIU) studying in the faculty of Education. The researchers analyzed the data by using Minitab 19. One sample t-test and analysis of variance are used. It is concluded that peer feedback is positively significant in enhancing writing skill neither the grades nor the departments affect their decision. The students consider peer feedback as an essential dialogue in writing.
