Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to implement a collaborative digital peer-assessment model in German as a foreign language learning and to analyze its impact on students' writing competence and their perceptions of the model. Methods: A mixed-methods approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed with 22 second-semester students of a German Language Education Study Program. Over one semester, students uploaded writing assignments to Padlet, commented on three to five peers' texts, provided rubric-based feedback, and took part in discussion and reflection. Data were collected through writing tests and interviews and analyzed using a paired-samples t test and thematic analysis. Findings: The mean writing score increased from 70.25 on the pre-test to 82.60 on the post-test, t(21) = 6.12, p < .001, dz = 1.30. Interviews showed that students initially experienced affective barriers, such as low self-confidence, fear, and hesitation in assessing peers' work, but gradually developed greater self-confidence, critical thinking, error awareness, and a sense of shared learning through mutual feedback. Significance: The findings suggest that digital peer-assessment supports not only writing competence but also the cognitive, affective, and social dimensions of foreign language learning, provided that students are trained to use assessment rubrics and supported in digital literacy.
