Problem The research project investigated the role of social interaction in facilitating the writing development of second language (L2) French students. [...] The second objective was to examine the effectiveness of peer interaction at different phases in the writing process at promoting L2 writing development. [...] The findings related to gender in the collaborative writing group should not be generalized due to the uneven distribution of students by gender, i.e., mostly female students. [...] The second objective was to compare the effectiveness of peer interaction at different phases in the writing process for promoting L2 writing development. [...] For this analysis, we examined the analytic ratings given to the essays written by each individual student at the beginning and end of the semester.
