                                                             About me:

                   Hello friends, My name is Mewpov. I was born in Tangerang . I am a student of Muhammadiyah University of Tangerang and I majored in English Education. I'm in semester 6 right now. I live in Moch Toha street Pasar Baru Tangerang. I come from a small family of 4 members in one family. I have a sister and I am the youngest in the family. My hobby is listening to music cause I think my voice is very sweet. I listen to a lot of songs from western and kpop. I'm not fixated on genres, I listen to all genres of music. My daily life is a student of the faculty of education. Right now I'm also helping to teach a few children in my place. The reason that I create this blog is to share some learning logs in journalism courses. If you want to contact me you can visit my Instagram on @meyl*****.

My opinion of news writing and as a citizen journalist

                   As citizen journalists, we can learn to use websites such as blogs, podcasts as well as social media, and YouTube to disseminate information. Citizen journalism can use the platform to write news writing. Using platforms such as bloggers can help citizen journalism in writing news writing. Blogger can be used easily with various features in it such as there is a comment feature that makes it easier for readers to provide feedback to the author. Make it easier for citizen journalism to reach their news writing access to a larger readership. Create news writing by collecting credible, accurate, and objective information. News writing is based on facts without bias. For the information shown to be accountable, as a citizen journalism must conduct news gathering first before writing news writing. News gatherings can be done such as conducting interviews and background research. Write news that becomes informative and valuable to the readers. Make good use of existing platforms in the stage of improving writing skills.

Reflection

                   This knowledge talks about the peer feedback rubric for Blog Buddy that I studied before last semester.  These studies provide solid evidence in support of the use of peer feedback rubrics in EFL writing instruction. Because I do not yet know about this knowledge, I will now need to read more about this topic because it is a useful topic for me in studying news, feature, and editorial courses. For me, the most important aspect was where educators can increase language learning, writing abilities, and student engagement by employing peer feedback practices and utilizing digital platforms.  In this material, peer feedback between friends can have an impact on language learning and the development of writing skills.  This knowledge is important to me in the workplace because we can develop the skills to write insightful, informative, and engaging reviews that contribute to the discourse surrounding the film and its impact on the audience. I have developed my knowledge of this material that feedback can engage in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing education.

 

Summary

                   According to the lecture’s explanation and lecture note in their article titled “Peer Feedback Rubric for Blog Buddy: Language Learning Log in EFL Writing  Education,”  it was stated that research on peer feedback in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing education has shown its significant role in enhancing language learning and writing skills. Studies by Kamimura (2006) and Saeed (2018) highlight the benefits of using online platforms like Facebook groups for peer feedback, which not only enhances writing skills but also fosters a supportive learning environment. Shofiya (2021) found that students perceive online peer feedback positively, contributing to their reading and writing skills and motivation. Zhang (2014) found that blog-mediated peer feedback positively correlated with learners' motivation, collaboration, and overall satisfaction with the course. These findings highlight the benefits of integrating technology and peer feedback practices in EFL writing education. By implementing these strategies and using digital platforms, educators can improve language learning, improve writing skills, and increase student engagement.
