N2  - This study investigates the effectiveness of peer feedback through Instagram in improving students' writing skills, particularly in descriptive texts. Writing is a crucial skill in language learning, yet many students face challenges in organizing ideas, vocabulary selection, grammar usage, and mechanics. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test post-test design, involving first-grade students from SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Bandar Lampung. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students' descriptive writing skills after utilizing peer feedback via Instagram. The mean post-test score (78.65) was notably higher than the pre-test score (63.88). Using Normalized Gain (N-Gain) analysis, the overall gain was 0.41, categorized as a moderate improvement. Further analysis showed that vocabulary and organization were the most improved aspects, with normalized gain (N-Gain) values of 0.804 and 0.785, respectively. These results suggest that Instagram fosters an engaging and collaborative learning environment that enhances students' writing performance. The study concludes that integrating peer feedback through Instagram is an effective strategy for enhancing students' writing abilities. It encourages student interaction, facilitates critical thinking, and promotes self-improvement in writing. Future research should explore the long-term impact of this approach and its application to other text types or language skills.
