Peer appraisal during repeated English reading aloud is a procedure for improving students’ English language for reading clarity and pronunciation. The current study evaluates the feasibility and impact of partners reading out loud to each other to improve English pronunciation, fluency and expression with three adult students of level 1 of English in the Official School of Languages located in a town near Barcelona. This study used recorded materials during the interactions, the transcript of the reading of three students and students’ observations to evaluate and reflect upon the impact of peer appraisal among participants. Results indicated that peer-mediated repeated oral reading interventions carried out by students’ cooperation was effective in assisting students to begin to improve their levels of reading pronunciation and fluency.The findings herewith analysed should be the base for further research on the effects of meditated oral reading to better English speaking and reading.
