explores the use of peer tutoring as an alternative teaching method to teach English
Proficiency. We compare students’ skills with and without peer learning, and collect
perceptions from this alternative teaching method. Before introducing the idea of
tutoring to the students, we found out that some students have been struggling in
learning as a learning method, our analysis revealed that students with low language
proficiency were able to improve their knowledge with the help of the peer learning
method. This research study proves the effects and connections between the
learning method for students to be able to enhance skills not only in language

The online learning setup this day is one of the reasons why students are having a

Review of the Literature and Theoretical Framework

Students can learn a great deal through English proficiency. In fact, many students'
reading comprehension, as well as their English speaking and writing skills, are still
are difficult to comprehend, students are hesitant to read. As a result of this situation,
several teaching strategies are used in class by the professors. Peer tutoring is one
Peer tutoring is a method of learning in which students assist one another and
teach one another. Students teaching students, students teaching school pupils, non-
professional adults teaching adults and children, and pupils teaching pupils have all
been employed in tutoring programs. (Goodlad, S., & Hirst, B., 1989). The roots of
peer tutoring, can be traced throughout ancient history – for the phenomenon of
children teaching other children has occurred throughout recorded history and,
undoubtedly, before. Societies have instructed their young in the tasks necessary - for
the continuation of the society - in earlier times, these tasks focused on the
physiological and survival needs. More recently, with formalized systems of educating
the young these tasks have focused on the cognitive and affective demands of society.
(Hoffman, C., 1977). Peer tutoring can refer to a variety of tutoring activities, but it most
commonly refers to students who study or learn in pairs in order to assist one another.
Peer tutoring normally leads to a greater grasp of academic subjects, but it is much

more productive when students of varying abilities collaborate. (Kunsch, Jitendra, &
Sood, 2007). Language learning and language acquisition are the two categories of
speaking, reading, and writing are the four macro abilities of communication that can
thought to come last of all the macro abilities. To put it another way, a language learner
can only be deemed fluent in a language if they have mastered it and can write within
the language's minimal rules. (Saavedra, A., 2020). Peer tutoring encourages shy or
hesitant pupils to communicate with classmates and practice skills. It stimulates and
a new role, an active part in their own learning, and build a dedication to their own
individual achievement. (Bombardelli, O., 2016) Students can use peer learning to
improve their ability to organize and arrange learning activities, collaborate with others,
give and receive feedback on their work, and lastly evaluate their own learning. Peer
learning is becoming more important nowadays, and it is now a part of many courses
in a wide range of contexts and disciplines in many nations across the world. (Boud,
1988). In peer instruction, instructors ask a tough question to students, who then
answer it individually, work with a partner in the class to discuss their solutions, and
then answer it again. Peer instruction improves student learning, according to a wide
body of evidence. (Tullis, J., 2020). Quantity and quality of social relationships have
an impact on mental health, health behavior, physical health, and mortality risk.
Sociologists have been crucial in establishing the link between social ties and health
outcomes, determining explanations for this link, and finding social variation (e.g., by
5
gender and race) at the population level. (Umberson, D., 2010). The concept of having
successful students tutor less successful students has a logical appeal. Tutors know
the material to be learned, have developed successful strategies to learn the material,
and understand the factors that influenced their learning of information (Mumford, T.J.,
1999). One way for students to shoulder the responsibility for learning is for them to
be the readers, writers, speakers, listeners, and thinkers in the classroom through
active engagement in social interaction with others (Alvermann & Phelps, 2005).
Kasten (1997) found it “amusing that the teachers of another era spent so much time
keeping their classes quiet and then wondered why so many students were terrified of
speaking to a group” (p. 100). She stated “teachers and principals of the past who
worked hard to keep children quiet (myself included) did not know how critical social
interaction and collaboration are in learning” (p. 99). The importance of social
interaction in learning cannot be overstated. Interacting with other people has been
shown to help learners organize their thoughts, reflect on their learning, and identify
learning by observation, learning by doing, and self–other monitoring are some of the
variations that fall under the broad umbrella of social interactions and learning. (Okita,
S.Y., 2012). Peer tutors are generally seen as less intimidating by students. Because
many peer tutors and their tutees are of similar ages, they can often create stronger
personal bonds that extend beyond the tutoring arrangement. A peer tutor fills the void
between a quasi-authority person and a buddy who can act as both an educator and
6
Peer tutoring is not a substitute for classroom instruction. Peer tutors have their
own sense of community and identity. Peer tutoring, on the other hand, can produce
tangible and beneficial benefits that benefit both student tutors and tutees if
implemented right. (Arrand, K., 2018). In addition to training, (Coenen, 2002) advised
that successful peer tutoring programs incorporate a number of other criteria. Peer
tutoring programs must have clear goals and objectives, which tutors must grasp. At
all sessions, adult supervision is required to answer tutor inquiries, monitor conduct,
qualities and a sense of responsibility. Tutors are expected to be able to explain the
concepts of the subject under review and to stimulate the tutee's interest in the subject.
A positive interaction between peers and children allows children to engage in more

environment, and they have more time to think about debate themes. Due to a lack of

express strong opinions, which can lead to both significant and deep learning as well

(Clarkson, B., 2007) explored ways of using peer tutoring to enhance the learning
Theoretical Framework
According to sociocultural theory, learning is a social process and the origin of human
intelligence in society and culture. Vygotsky’s major theme to this theory is that social
interaction plays an important role in the development of cognition. On the other hand,
Piaget proposed that a child’s cognitive development is not just about acquiring
knowledge, but the child has to construct a mental model of the world.

tutoring normally leads to a greater grasp of academic subjects, but it is much more
productive when students of varying abilities collaborate. (Kunsch, Jitendra, & Sood,
2007). The researchers believe that right now, the most pressing need for students is
to foster improving our learning performances and gain benefits from our own peers
that will lead to academic excellence. In response to the research question, “How
important could peer interaction be in enhancing the English skills of students?”, the
researchers discovered that students can excel and improve their language skills in
this method of learning by participating and engaging more with peers. Since classes
are now held digitally and virtually, one of the features of peer learning is active
rather than simply sitting and listening passively. According to the students’ responses
to the questionnaire, 16% of them strongly agreed and 84% agreed to the survey
question, “Would peer tutoring be a good learning method?” The findings of this study
are consistent with the statement of Bombardelli, O. (2016) which states that students
can use peer learning to improve their ability to organize and arrange learning
activities, collaborate with others, give and receive feedback on their work, and lastly
evaluate their own learning. Peer learning is becoming more important nowadays, and

Conclusions
especially as a student. As the pandemic evolved over time and caused people to
study and work from home, face to face social interaction decreased. Studying from
home in a virtual setup wasn’t easy for students due to the fact that it took a toll on
everyone’s mental health and that most teachers weren’t used to teach virtually. Most
teachers were inefficient in their teachings and most students struggled to cope up in
the new setup that they even lost motivation to continue studying and achieving.
Students would engage with their peers in mobile games, social media, and some
would just isolate themselves. This phenomenon caused everyone especially students
to withdraw from their academic interests and focus on themselves rather than
academic performance, virtual social interaction with their peers was always present.
Students mostly tend to their peers for help in their academic work and it is effective
ever since as it is proven to help and develop bond among peers while learning. The
researchers recognized how peer learning affected the academic performances in the
City as there were a variety of perspectives and points to consider when the
participants shared their insights with the peer learning method. Although most
22
students’ English skills were good, some of them were able to be taught by the peer
tutoring approach and learned lessons that they didn’t know much about. As an
alternative learning method, peer tutoring has both benefits and downsides, causing
students to hold opposing opinions. In this regard, the researchers discovered that,
while students can both be attentive and inattentive in their classes, peer learning
encourages them not only to strengthen social relationships among peers but to help
them excel in their academic performances as well. The findings also revealed that
using different means to promote deeper and effective learning is more beneficial than
only using one, as the majority of the respondents agree with the statement. The
researchers believe that this study proves how social interaction among peers can be
utilized as another learning method for students to help enhance their knowledge and
skills not only in language proficiency but in other areas as well. This study shows how
students can also be teachers and listeners to each other, to help them establish a
good foundation of their relationships, build trust, and encourage them to learn more
because peer tutoring or peer learning motivate students to have fun and strengthen
