The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of direct and indirect correctivefeedback on Iranian intermediate EFL learners’ speaking accuracy. This present research aimedto investigate the differential impact of recast and metalinguistic feedback on speakingperformance of EFL learners. To do so, After administering a Nelson test to have ahomogeneous sample a total number of ...

The main role and responsibility of second language writing teachers is to help learners to write with minimal errors. To do so, teachers need to provide students with appropriate types of feedback. In this research, the researchers examined the effect of post-text written corrective feedback on written grammatical accuracy of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. In the first phase, Nelson Profic...

Corrective feedback (CF) and its different types have long absorbed many scholars and practitioners. As Ellis (2009) mentioned some experimental studies need to be carefully designed to discover the relative effectiveness of each of these CF techniques. The goal of this qualitative study was to discover whether the employment of different CF strategies could bring about an attitudinal shift. To...

The performance of multitasking control systems with resource constraints depends not only on controller design, but also on efficient scheduling of the shared computing resources. To support codesign of feedback control and real-time scheduling under overload conditions, a direct feedback scheduling approach is proposed. The goal is to optimize the overall system performance through dynamicall...

  This study investigated the effect of gender and type of written corrective feedback (WCF) on Iranian pre-intermediate EFL learners’ writing. Four intact classes were assigned to experimental and two intact classes to control groups. The learners were homogenized using a pre-test which was followed by sixteen sessions lasting one hour and forty five minutes. After receiving instruction on how...

This paper investigates the problem posed by direct feedback in automata networks. Such a feedback introduces a direct instantaneous depending of the input of a system upon itself through a signal path within the network. In continuous system theory such a feedback yields an algebraic loop, which may render the overall system ill-posed. In discrete-event system theory this problem has not been ...

introduction: evaluation of students’ learning in clinical education system is one of the most important and challenging issues that facilities in this field have been facing. the present study aimed to evaluate the role of feedback during evaluation in increasing emergency medicine residents’ clinical skills. method: the present experimental study was performed on all second year emergency med...
