Recasts are an important type of implicit negative feedback that has attracted much attention in both L1 research and SLA research. The utility of recasts in face-to-face interaction has been empirically established, and the contingency of recasts is argued to be the key. However, the efficacy of recasts in computer-mediated communication (CMC), text-based online chatting in particular, remains...

A number of interaction researchers have claimed that recasts might be ambiguous to learners; that is, instead of perceiving recasts as containing corrective feedback, learners might see them simply as literal or semantic repetitions without any corrective element (Long, in press; Lyster & Ranta, 1997). This study investigates learners’ interpretations of recasts in interaction. Videotapes of t...

It has been just over a decade since the publication of Lyster and Ranta’s critical articles on corrective feedback. Since then, there have been numerous publications in this area of classroom based Second Language Acquisition research. Lyster and Ranta (1997) and Lyster (1998b) found that recasts are the most common, but least effective, form of oral corrective feedback employed by foreign lan...

the present study attempted to discover the impact of reduction recasts on the improvement of the speaking ability and on the repaired grammatical uptake rates of iranian intermediate level efl learners. after administering a language proficiency test, 52 homogeneous students were randomly assigned to the experimental and control group. the comparison of the two groups on the speaking pretest c...

This case study is about an adult Japanese learner’s second language learning through her teacher’s recasts in an EFL classroom in Japan. We first examined by videotaping the class how recasts were provided in the theme-based EFL classroom. Then we investigated the relationship between the student’s awarenessof recast feedback and her L2 learning. Stimulated recallinterviews were used to elicit...

This comparative analysis of teacher-student interaction in two different instructional settings at the elementary-school level (18.3 hr in French immersion and 14.8 hr Japanese immersion) investigates the immediate effects of explicit correction, recasts, and prompts on learner uptake and repair. The results clearly show a predominant provision of recasts over prompts and explicit correction, ...

This paper investigated how production task combined with teacher feedback (in the form of recasts) affects child second language development, and effects complexity on their performance. 92 learners English in three intact classes were assigned to tasks different (simple, +complex, ++complex). In response errors use present third person singular verb forms, participants received recasts. L2 de...

The purpose of this paper is to review several studies on the effects language aptitude recast-driven acquisition L2 morphosyntax. Recasts are one most commonly used forms corrective feedback in second (L2) classrooms. It clear from research that there a variety internal and external factors affect ability learners benefit recasting. Among those factors, working memory analytic ability, as two ...
