This study investigated the effects of synchronous online peer feedback on the revision changes made in the subsequent drafts. The researchers conducted a close analysis of the discourse functions found in the chat scripts of fourteen pairs of students enrolled in an intermediate English composition class at a large university in Korea. After the participants wrote an explanatory essay, they exchanged feedback through synchronous online peer response sessions. Then,based on the feedback, they wrote the subsequent revisions. Various types of discourse functions were identified, and the total number of discourse functions showed diverse pair dynamics. Moreover, total messages were counted in order to find out whether the participants had focused on discussing their essay problems. Findings indicate that most of the participants concentrated on exchanging their thoughts and opinions on the essays. A statistical analysis also showed that significant differences were found in the subsequent revisions. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for the further studies were discussed.
