Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) are increasingly prevalent in world language instruction. While researchers have investigated various dimensions of IPAs, only one previous study has analyzed the discursive content of associated teacher-learner co-constructive feedback sessions (Adair-Hauck & Troyan, 2013). The present study examines…

Purpose: Individuals with cerebellar ataxia (CA) caused by cerebellar degeneration exhibit larger reactive compensatory responses to unexpected auditory feedback perturbations than neurobiologically typical speakers, suggesting they may rely more on feedback control during speech. We test this hypothesis by examining variability in unaltered…

The purpose of the study is to investigate the types of corrective feedback used by a Thai teacher with adult learners of different proficiency levels in speaking classes in order to facilitate students' language development, as it is an aspect language teachers need to be aware of when teaching speaking. Three different levels of speaking classes…

The teacher's oral corrective feedback is the hallmark in teaching speaking. It is a daily input given by teachers to improve students' speaking skill. However, it is rarely known the effects of the OCF to students' psychological domain. Therefore, the present study investigated the students' psychological problems after receiving teacher's oral…

This study investigates the effectiveness of a computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) system on second language learners' acquisition of three grammatical features. It presents a CAPT system on top of a phoneme-based, fine-tuned speech recognition model, and is intended to deliver explicit, corrective feedback on the pronunciation of the…

Providing feedback on EFL Learners' speaking errors has been extensively researched, with numerous studies highlighting its benefits (Van Ha, et al., 2021; Hartono, 2022). This study investigates the impact of "pending feedback", a type of feedback where students must independently discover the correct answer. This research emphasizes…

In this paper, chemistry teachers' reactions/behavior or actions following students' undesired, unexpected or incorrect responses/answers to the posed teacher oral questions are reported. This study which was carried out in Tanzania in Iringa Municipality involved three chemistry teachers teaching in three different secondary schools. Actual…

In the context of globalization and modernization, English is indispensable for Vietnam's engagement in global development. Nevertheless, a significant number of English language students are unaware of the obstacles and errors that they make when speaking. This study premises that speaking can be enhanced through teachers' feedback, particularly…

Oral corrective feedback (OCF) plays an important role in language teaching and learning, but little research has examined Bhutanese teachers' practices of OCF on students' speaking performance and uptake. This paper reports on a mixed-method approach to investigate the rate of students' uptake on teachers' OCF within an ESL setting in Bhutanese…

The ultimate goal of teaching foreign language is to achieve an elevated level of language competence via providing maximum language exposure and minimum learner mistakes. To fulfill the goal, many strategies have been developed. One of the strategies is the provision of feedback during the formal speaking courses. Nevertheless, format of the oral…

This article focuses on designing and evaluating conversation practice in a second language (L2) with a robot that employs human spoken and non-verbal interaction strategies. Based on an analysis of previous work and semi-structured interviews with L2 learners and teachers, recommendations for robot-led conversation practice for adult learners at…

The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the possible various influences of teachers' oral corrective feedback (CF) strategies on learners' learning motivation and further to investigate the learners' attitudes and perceptions toward their teachers' feedback strategies. The participants were 54 pre-intermediate Iranian EFL learners…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been progressively utilized in educational environments in recent years, due to the advances in computing and information processing techniques. The automatic speech recognition technique (ASR) provides students with instantaneous feedback and interactive oral practice for supporting a context with…

In this article, I examine how repairs in adult-child conversations guide children's acquisition of language. Children make unprompted self-repairs to their utterances. They also respond to prompts for repair, whether open ("Hm?," "What?") or restricted ("You hid what?"), and to restricted offers (Child: "I…

This study investigated primary teachers' knowledge of pronunciation instruction, and its manifestation in classroom practices in Korean EFL contexts. To this end, the questionnaire data collected from 47 teachers were quantitatively analyzed. The emerging themes from 5 teachers' interviews were qualitatively analyzed, based on content analysis.…
