ABSTRACT Language acquisition is one of the most difficult issues student’s faces.
Learners formerly relied on their teachers, but peer correction methods encourage learner autonomy. Due to the emergence of Communicative Language Teaching and Learner- centered Teaching, students’ active participation in language learning is now highly sought and therefore, peer correction is becoming increasingly popular among the practitioners. Because exposure to the peer correction in university lectures is limited, learners must become more independent and make active of the classroom. As a result, the learner's autonomy is critical in knowledge terms acquisition and enhancement.
The purpose study is to look at how second-year English language learners of peer correction on writing quality of university students’ having different cognitive styles. Based on the assessment of the current situation, based on accepted theory, the author proposes directions to help second - year English - majors' peer – correction in writing skill effectively to complete their task service to improve the research problem.

It would be difficult to work in any field when you cannot communicate with other people through writing. Writing also improves one is creativity, imagination, focus, and social skills. However, such a skill could be the most difficult compared to other skills because becoming good writers requires learners to be fully equipped not only with Basic English grammar & vocabulary but also have profound background knowledge and good writing skills. For language students in general and HPU English – majors in particular, the skill has become an obstacle to master the new language – English.
In fact, HPU students often get low writing marks because of many reasons such as: poor vocabulary, lack of grammar, wide knowledge of fields they write about, etc. Therefore, feedback especially correction plays a crucial role in their learning process. From what the researcher observed in writing lessons, peer correction, together with teachers’ correction, needs to make regularly during the writing course. That is the reason why the researcher has decided to carry out the research with the tittle: “A study on second - year English - majors' peer – correction in writing skill at Hai Phong Management and Technology University.

Definition of writing skill Writing is an integral part of a larger activity where the focus is on something else such as language practice, acting out or speaking (Harmer, 2007:33). Writing is the nature of the composing process of writing.
Written products are often the result of thinking, drafting and revising procedures that require specialized skills, skills that not every writer develops naturally (Brown, 2003: 335). Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that the definition of writing is process of inventing ideas, thinking about how to express them, and organizing them into statements and paragraphs which the purpose is used to communicate something with the other people indirectly, student gets effort to express mind through language in writing. Writing is a productive skill, however, that does not mean students focus only on their final paragraph. They must also gain experience in every stage of the writing process so that they can gain significant experience in polishing their paragraphs because writing is a process that begins with hunches, ideas, and concepts.
Imperfect, incomplete, ambiguous (Murray and Moore, 2006:5) to produce good and understandable text. Cook and Bassetti (2005: 430) claim that students must understand the use of form and function of written language to make them aware of the appropriate words and grammar that they use in their writing. Writing has been widely regarded as a crucially essential skill in the teaching and learning of English as a second language as it is a comprehensive skill that helps reinforce vocabulary, grammar, thinking, planning, editing, revising, and other elements. Writing also helps to improve all the other skills of listening, speaking and reading as they are all interrelated (Saed and Al-Omari in Yunus, and Chien 2016: 1).
In short, writing skill is an ability used to clearly communicate ideas through writing in various forms. Technical knowledge about writing conventions, style guides and formatting for different situations is also its important parts. Writing process Harmer (2004) states that there are four stages of writing including brainstorming, planning, drafting and editing. - Brainstorming is the initial step of paragraph writing.
It is idea-collecting technique which functions as the organizer of thinking and idea collector. It is included as pre-writing activity. - Planning is the second stage where learners have to decide what they are going to tell. They can write detailed notes related to their topic or just simple words.
Learners must consider three things during the planning phase; purpose, the audience, and the structure of the content. - Drafting is the next stage. This one is when the writers write down their ideas on paper focusing on the content, and not mechanism. - Editing is the step when students check and correct the paragraph as the final version is called editing.
It can be viewed as the process of correcting the sentence structure, word choice, spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization in a piece of writing.
