Abstract
This study aimed to investigate students’ attitudes towards peer assessment of oral presentation skills, as well as the challenges students faced undergoing this form of assessment. The study sampled 37 adult students taking a general English course at the Petroleum Training and Qualifications Institute. Peer assessment was used to assess oral presentations during speaking sessions. To collect and analyse data, a mixed-methods approach was utilised using a survey and semi-structured interviews . The study revealed that students had positive attitudes towards the learning and achievement gained from PA, as well as giving and receiving assessments from and to their classmates. However, students expressed facing a number of issues including friendship marking, some level of distrust in peers’ assessments, arising conflict, a lack of confidence in assessing, and some level of dissatisfaction with the rubric criteria.
