Correcting Students' Essays Interactively in Face-to-Face Mode: A Study of Yemeni EFL Undergraduates' Attitudes

MEXTESOL Journal, v49 n2 2025
Written correction feedback (WCF) has been a part of the field of English as a foreign language (EFL) writing for decades. Much research has been conducted on WCF in various contexts. In Yemen, it seems that WCF has still not been touched. This study explores Yemeni EFL undergraduates' attitudes on having their written essays corrected using a face-to-face (FTF) interactive mode with their instructor. It also investigates some of the advantages that Yemeni EFL undergraduates get from engaging in face-to-face interactive feedback. A quantitative research design was used to gather information from 4th level Yemeni EFL undergraduates studying at English department during the academic year 2021-2022. The intake class (17) students were recruited in this study. The study found that all the students liked to get feedback on their writing interactively in a face-to-face mode with their instructors. All the students also reported that their instructors focused on grammar, vocabulary, and content. Findings showed that students got benefits including correcting their writing mistakes, avoiding mistakes in future writing, writing without difficulty, and applying the steps of essays. Students indicated that their writing improved and some even said they felt they could teach essay writing to other students. It is recommended for EFL teachers to focus on face-to-face interactive feedback with their individual students due to its suitability in the EFL context, especially when the students are at a basic level.
