Penelitian ini meneliti: 1) adakah perbedaan signifikan atas peningkatan kemampuan menulis mahasiswa yang menggunakan strategi self-editing – peer review dan peer review - self-editing; 2) adakah perbedaan signifikan atas peningkatan kemampuan menulis mahasiswa  berdasaran grup proficiency yang berbeda di tiap kelas , dan 3) aspek menulis yang meningkat signifikan di kedua kelas. Subjek penelitian adalah mahasiswa IBI Darmajaya, Lampung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Instrumen penelitian: tes menulis dan Nelson English Language Proficiency Test (NELT). Hasil penelitian:1) ada perbedaan signifikan pada kemampuan menulis mahasiswa yang menerapkan strategi self-editing – peer review dan peer review -self-editing; 2) ada perbedaan sigifikan pada kemampuan menulis mahasiswa di grup heterogen di kedua kelas; 3) tata bahasa adalah aspek menulis yang meningkat paling signifikan. Self-editing dan peer review dapat meningkatkan kemampuan menulis mahasiswa, dan membalik urutan teknik mengedit dapat meningkatkankemampuan menulis mahasiswa secara berbeda.
