We examined which type of corrective feedback in a computerized task produces an optimal balance between performance and emotional reactions in children. To that end, we conducted an emotional dotprobe task. We employed three types of corrective feedback (negative, positive, or mixed) along with a control, non-feedback condition. We tested the effect of feedback on: (i) task performance; (ii) i...

Abstract Many studies about eTandem and language learning stem from learners in Western institutions of higher education. Unfortunately, there is a lack research investigating the telecollaboration regarding development between East West. Against this backdrop, small-scale, six-week Chinese-English project focusing on learners’ processes experiences was undertaken nine Chinese university studen...

Errors in eye movements can be corrected during the ongoing saccade through in-flight modifications (i.e., online control), or by programming a secondary eye movement (i.e., offline control). In a reflexive saccade task, the oculomotor system can use extraretinal information (i.e., efference copy) online to correct errors in the primary saccade, and offline retinal information to generate a sec...

The forms in focus were a/an, the, and the past tense.The study was conducted in an EFL classroom setting with 45 learners of English in three writing classes which served as the feedback givers, receivers, and the control group.  Over four sessions of treatmen...

In this paper we introduce a system for providing automatically generated corrective feedback on pronunciation errors in Dutch, Dutch-CAPT. We describe the architecture of the system paying particular attention to the rationale behind it, to the performance of the error detection algorithm and its relationship to the effectiveness of the corrective feedback provided. It appears that although th...
