This study aims to investigate the influence of providing peer feedback on the writing skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 18 Pulau Morotai in the subject of English as a second language. The study employs a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of the one-group pretest-posttest type. The sample consisted of 20 students selected purposively. The main instrument used was a writing test assessed using an analytic rubric. The scoring rubric includes five essential aspects: Content (relevance and completeness of ideas), Organization (flow and coherence of ideas), Vocabulary (accuracy and variety of word choice), Grammar (correct sentence structure), and Mechanics (use of spelling, punctuation, and capitalization). Each aspect is scored from 1 to 4, allowing for an in-depth evaluation of students’ writing ability before and after the treatment. The analysis results show that the average pretest score was 8.65, which increased to 12.70 in the posttest. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated that the data were normally distributed. The paired samples correlation test showed a correlation value of 0.662, and the paired samples t-test indicated a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results, with a t-value of 8.371 and a significance level of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that providing peer feedback has a significant effect on improving students’ writing skills, as reflected in the increased scores across all five aspects of the assessment rubric.
