The purpose of this study is to present an effective Korean language writing education method that applies blended learning. Many difficulties can be found in many factors comprehended in writing education such as the students, the teachers, the learning environment and many others, but the biggest problem of them all is that a comprehensive course on writing education cannot be conducted during class due to time restraints. In order to address and overcome these limitations, a blended learning program was adopted and students were successfully induced to actively participate in the activities, To further increase educational effectiveness peer feedback activities were applied in real class. The analysis of results confirmed an improvement in educational effectiveness. Peer feedback types were considered from a linguistic, a responsive and an affective point of view. Students’ writings were compared before and after establishing peer feedback, and results confirmed that students’ writing could improve even without teacher feedback. By moving away from the traditional one-sided teacher feedback method, students started sharing feedback with their peers and were able to learn more about writing by interacting with them. Moreover, students’ motivation, interest and participation in the class clearly increased. Unlike writing that students only do once, peer feedback encouraged students to share and do more writing, and this not only helped students improve their writing skills, it also helped them improve their reading skills. Through this process that allows students to share their feedback with peers by using spoken language form, they did not only obtain benefits in written language but also in spoken language. This study presented a new method for Korean language writing education, an area that was long regarded difficult by both students and teachers. Practical applications in actual classes have shown positive results. The results of blended learning with focused on peer feedback have confirmed possibilities for application in Korean language writing education.
