Meanwhile the process approach views writing as a process. The process itself is divided into 4 stages prewriting writing rewriting and post writing. On the rewriting process students rewrite or revise their initial writing on the base of feedback from their peers. One of the most celebrated methods of revising is peer response method. Peer response method is a method of revising a composition in which students share their writing and then take and give feedback to one another to improve their writing so before students writing is submitted and graded students can work in pairs or in groups revising each others work. This study was conducted to describe students opinions toward the application of peer response method in writing class at the English Department of State University of Malang.
