Effectiveness of written corrective feedback: Does type of error and type of correction matter?

The study examines the effect of form-focused corrective feedback (FFCF) on students’ ability to reduce pronoun agreement errors and lexical errors in new essays. Two experimental groups received on three assignments: direct error correction along with metalinguistic feedback, and only metalinguisti...

الملخص:The study examines the effect of form-focused corrective feedback (FFCF) on students’ ability to reduce pronoun agreement errors and lexical errors in new essays. Two experimental groups received on three assignments: direct error correction along with metalinguistic feedback, and only metalinguistic feedback, respectively; while the control group self edited their errors. All groups revised their errors before the next assignment. Students took pretest, immediate and delayed post-tests, and the two experimental groups were interviewed about the FFCF received. Results of the immediate post-test revealed a significant difference in pronoun agreement errors of the direct metalinguistic group; no significant difference appeared in lexical errors. At the delayed post-test, there was no significant difference among the groups in pronoun agreement errors, but a significant difference appeared in lexical errors of the direct metalinguistic group. Theoretical explanation and pedagogical implications are discussed.
