The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of peer review on EFL students' writing ability. For this purpose , 40 second year prep school students, from two classes at Nasser Prep School for Boys located in Benha Govemorate, participated in the study. They were randomly divided into two equal groups, forming both the experimental and the control groups. The experimental group received training in peer review activities in which students peer checked themselves in paragraph writing for seven weeks during the first semester of the 2007 / 2008 academic year. The control group was taught the same content ( paragraph writing) for the same period of time, but did not receive any training in peer review activities/ did self-checking only. Statistical analysis of the obtained data from the pre-test and pos-test revealed a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group on the post-test in favor of the former group. These results were discussed and recommendations for further research were suggested.
