A peer evaluation is an educational activity in which learners cooperate each other and means a criticism on each other's writings and a provision of feedback in a small group. This paper analyzed the effect of a peer evaluation to a beginning learner to Korean language by classifying it into an affective domain and a domain for competence of composition. As a result, a learner's ability was improved to a certain degree in terms of all aspects such as a vocabulary, grammar, skill to command of sentence, skill to content organization, and skill to organize a format, etc. In particular, it was found out that if a focus was made on one of these aspects and the related skill was improved in a concentrated manner, then a more effective improvement in skill could be made. In case of a beginning learner, there is a high probability to give up learning due to an excessive fear or despair. Subsequently, if a method of a peer evaluation is properly utilized, then the composition class will not make learners get bored. In addition, learners' active participation can be expected. This study only partially proved the effect of peer evaluation. However, it is meaningful for this research to become the basis to expand other researches on this area in a future.
