Abstract:
Despite the importance of feedback in academic writing, how graduate students respond to feedback has received scant attention. This is important, especially among international graduate students whose familiarity with digital feedback should not be taken into granted. Despite the role of both tools in facilitating the two graduate students engagement with feedback, Google Docs appeared as an interactive tool because it supports synchronous and immediate edits. Engagement was found to vary according to (1) the tools used in receiving the feedback, (2) the types of feedback, and (3) students cultural backgrounds and experiences in feedback.
