abstract

recent interaction studies havefocused on the relationship between interactional feedback and l2 development.despite the large body of knowledge in this regard, few studies have examinedlearners’ preferences for interactional feedback. besides, different findingshave been reported concerning learners’ preferences for feedback and none hasexamined the factors accounting for the variation in the results.thus, thepresent study considered the role of age in forming language learners’preferences for oral corrective feedback. a feedback questionnaire wasdistributed among 136 language learners. the results confirmed the relationshipbetween age of the learners and their preferences. while adults were moreinclined towards only-teacher feedback, younger learners were more in favor ofpeer feedback. adults also had a higher preference for implicit recast whileyounger learners were more positively oriented towards explicit recast. the results suggested the need for teachers to take intoconsideration learner characteristics and their perceptions when correctingtheir errors.
