The objective of this study is to develop literacy engagement in Chinese students with varying language proficiencies through teacher-written corrective feedback. Drawing on Bandura's social cognitive theory and Boekaerts and Corno's self-regulation theory, the research aims to understand how corrective feedback influences literacy engagement and…

In five experiments, we examined the conditions under which participants remembered true and false information given as feedback. Participants answered general information questions, expressed their confidence in the correctness of their answers, and were given true or false feedback. In all five experiments, participants hyper'corrected' when…

The study aimed at obtaining and analyzing the opinions of Science teachers who practiced online STEM activities in the Science course during the transition process to distance education due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research was carried out with six (n = 6) Science teachers of the 7th grades in six different public schools in Ankara in the…

Committing errors and feedback in writing are important in the process of language acquisition (Corder, 1975; Foster et al., 1988; Krashen, 1981; Marina et al., 2005; Salehi et al., 2018; Valizadeh et al., 2020). In Vietnam, however, error-analysis in writing in the contexts of EFL students has not been investigated fully. This research study…

Research has shown that the effectiveness of written corrective feedback (WCF) on writing performance depends on learners' engagement with WCF and its associated motivational state. However, little research has examined the inner causal relationships between motivation, learner engagement with WCF, and writing performance. The current study fills…

All too often fluency is a neglected component to reading instruction and the curriculum, even though there is research supporting the fact that fluency builds comprehension and is a strong predictor of future academic achievements in the classroom. This study was designed to test the validity of using research based fluency strategies in the…

This study examined the effectiveness of written corrective and the role of individual differences (ID) in the uptake of the feedback. Data was taken from a nine-week, English as a foreign language (EFL) writing course from 101 intermediate (n=101) students at a private university in Kobe, Japan. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods…

The study examined the types of written corrective feedback given by second language writing teachers on Taiwanese secondary school students' collocation errors. First, the written corrective feedback that teachers provided on learners' word choice errors was examined to uncover the types of feedback provided. Then, analysis focused on verb-noun…

In this study, I worked with five secondary mathematics preservice teachers (PSTs) in their final year of their undergraduate teacher education program at a large, midwestern university. I examined written lesson plans, observed enacted lessons, and interviewed PSTs about planning and teaching. The purpose of this study was to better understand…

Oral-corrective feedback (CF) has often been a significant concern in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). This study sought to investigate teachers' and students' attitudes toward the oral CF in traditional and technology-enhanced classes. It also investigated the extent to which teachers' attitudes toward the oral CF matched their…

Grounded in the activity theory, we adopted a sequential explanatory mixed-methods approach to explore the impact of automated written corrective feedback (AWCF) on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' academic writing skills (i.e. task achievement, coherence and cohesion, lexicon, and grammatical range and accuracy). To this end, two…

Based on interaction recorded in EFL classrooms, this study uses Conversation Analysis to document the post-first deployment of an absurd candidate formulation (ACF) to pursue recipient response at points of interactional delay. ACFs are a form of correction-invitation device in which the question initiator proffers a candidate response that is…

In recent years, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to significantly improved, or in some cases, completely new digital tools for writing. Systems for writing assessment and assistance based on automated writing evaluation (AWE) have been available for some time. That is the case for machine translation as well. More recent are…

While previous research has identified misalignment of L2 teachers' beliefs and practices on written corrective feedback (WCF), much remains to be known about whether and how writing teachers' beliefs may vary across contexts and evolve over time, as well as the extent to which their beliefs are manifested in their practice. To address this issue,…

Students' engagement plays a pivotal role in how they respond to teacher's written feedback on their writings. Despite the ubiquity of prior research on teacher's corrective feedback in EFL writing classrooms, university students' engagement with the teacher's written corrective feedback (WCF) in tertiary writing classrooms receives scanty…
