About
Dr. Emily Petit is a leading scholar in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and second language writing pedagogy. Her research centers on how digital tools and peer collaboration can transform English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, particularly in the revision process. In her highly influential 2014 study, “EFL writing revision with blind expert and peer review using a CMC open forum,” which has garnered 68 citations, Dr. Petit demonstrated the powerful impact of anonymous, computer-mediated communication (CMC) on student writing outcomes. By creating a structured open forum where learners from two different universities could exchange blind peer feedback, she provided empirical evidence that such interfaces foster more candid, constructive critique and deeper engagement with revision. This work has become a cornerstone for educators seeking to integrate technology-enhanced peer review into their curricula. Dr. Petit’s contributions have reshaped how writing instructors approach feedback, moving beyond traditional teacher-centered models to leverage collaborative, digital environments that empower students as both writers and reviewers. Her ongoing research continues to explore the intersection of social interaction, technology, and language acquisition.
