Abstract:

Corrective feedback (CF) and its different types have long absorbed many scholars and practitioners. As Ellis (2009) mentioned some experimental studies need to be carefully designed to discover the relative effectiveness of each of these CF techniques. The goal of this qualitative study was to discover whether the employment of different CF strategies could bring about an attitudinal shift. To this end, 132 learners were randomly assigned to six different groups each receiving a different kind of corrective feedback. The participants' responses were compared before and after the treatment to find out how their attitude changed over the course of correction. The results suggested that different kinds of feedback strategies have their own proponents. The participants voiced their views on those feedback strategies. The implications of the findings are discussed at the end.

Feedback on Corrective Feedback --- A Case Study

A three-month longitudinal case study is reported of a L2 learner's response to corrective feedback. While the major bulk of evidence indicates that correction on the whole has positive effects on the particular learner's learning, there is also evidence contradicting the popular assumption that feedback is always semantically transparent with respect to the learning problem. Confronted with co...
