Abstract
This study investigates the value of OECF for non-native speakers (NNSs) of English from (1)the quality of their interaction online, (2) their perceptions and (3) the challenges encountered. OECF is an online peer tutoring (PT) technique that was developed from Negotiated Meaning (NM) and used by native speakers (NSs) for eight weeks. Conversation Analysis (CA) was employed to evaluate the quality of NNSs’ online conversations. Participants’ opinions on the project were measured using an end-project survey
