Hailay Tesfay Gebremariam – SAGE Open, 2024

Alhadi Bilban – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Writing in English is considered an important skill for ESL learners, and qualified teachers are needed in order to provide the students with written corrective feedback (WCF).

Lee, Icy – Applied Linguistics, 2023
In English as an additional language writing, error correction or error feedback is most commonly referred to as 'written corrective feedback (WCF)'. The emphasis on 'correctness' in 'WCF' suggests native-speakerist standards or norms, which are controversial in an increasingly globalized world. In this Forum article, I discuss the problems…

Hyunjung An – ProQuest LLC, 2020
The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of written corrective feedback (WCF) in a Korean as a foreign language (KFL) context. The assumption that indirect feedback (IF) is more effective for L2 learners with higher-proficiency levels has yet to be fully corroborated, which necessitates substantial research-based…

Jang, Sung-Soo – English Teaching, 2020
The study investigates whether differences in metalinguistic information contained in written corrective feedback (CF) mediate its effectiveness for second language (L2) development. To address this, metalinguistic CF was distinguished into three types in terms of how specific its metalinguistic information was. They were then compared among…

DeRobles, Gabriela – ProQuest LLC, 2019
In the field of Instructed Second Language Acquisition (ISLA), written corrective feedback (WCF) has been shown to play a facilitative role in improving written accuracy (e.g., Ashwell, 2000; Ferris & Roberts, 2001; Ferris, 2006; Sheen, 2007; Bitchener, 2008; Liu & Brown, 2015). However, studies that examine the effects of different types…

Ferris, Dana – Language Teaching, 2015
Written corrective feedback (CF) has been the most heavily researched topic in second language (L2) writing over the past 20 years. As a recent research timeline article in this journal (Ferris 2012; see also Bitchener & Ferris 2012) shows, studies of error correction in student writing have crossed disciplines (composition and rhetoric,…

The impact written corrective feedback (WCF) has on second language development is still a subject of much debate. While some believe it leads to improvement, others are more sceptical. But in order for WCF to lead to second language improvement, learners must first be able to not only correctly interpret the WCF but also understand the linguistic…

Bitchener, John; Knoch, Ute – Applied Linguistics, 2010
The call for longitudinal evidence on the efficacy of written corrective feedback (WCF) for ESL (English as a second language) writers has been made repeatedly since Truscott (1996) claimed that it is ineffective, harmful, and should therefore be abandoned. This article discusses some of the theoretical issues raised against the practice, outlines…
