Abstract:
This thesis reports a study that explores to what extent the tutors and tutees benefited from the same-age and cross-age peer-tutoring: 24 F.3 students from the same class were paired with a reading partner; another 12 F.3 students were paired with 12 F.1 students. The findings reveal that the tutees in the same-age group gained most in the project.
