In order to answer the research question posed by us, "how to develop writing skills in secondary school students using the mutual assessment method?" a qualitative study was conducted. Having collected and analyzed the data obtained, we formulated the basic principles of effective application of the mutual assessment method for the development of writing skills in secondary school students.
