The teaching of writing which was once concerned with the final product of writing has shifted the concern into the writers composing process (Hairston in Furaidah 1997 66). Before the process approach emerged writing was centered on students final product and the grade was based on how much students product imitate the given model. 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. There were two variables included in this study namely students opinions toward the application of peer response method in improving their writing and students expectation from the method to improve the quality of their writing class. The subjects of this study were the students of English Department State University of Malang who were taking Writing I with 19 students majoring in English Education academic year of 2007/2008. This study employed a descriptive-qualitative design. The questionnaires were the instrument used to collect the data needed. The data were then classified by using the concept of simple percentage to gain students opinions concerning the two variables stated above. The findings of this study are as follows. The data show that most of the students agree that peer response method helps them improve their writing in terms of language use (vocabulary and grammar) organization and content. It is also found that students favor the method and suggest that peer response method is applied to all writing classes. The positive tendency gained from this study implied that there is a growing appreciation toward the application of peer response method. Therefore it is recommended to the teachers of writing and students enrolling writing to apply the method.
