since the emergence of the process-oriented approach to second language writing instruction two main questions have been what and how error feedback should be given to the students. the question of whether teachers should provide feedback on grammar in the writing assignments of english as a foreign language students, and if so how, has been a matter of considerable debate in the field of secon...

since the emergence of the process-oriented approach in second language writing instruction, the issues of writing instruction have been predominantly concerned with what and how error feedback should be given to the students’ writing. the present study investigated the effect of explicit corrective feedback on writing accuracy of iranian intermediate efl learners (n = 44) in hamedan islamic az...

 The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of asynchronous computer-mediated versus conventional corrective feedback on learners' writing accuracy. Three groups of learners took part in the study: asynchronous feedback group, conventional feedback group, and a control group. Asynchronous feedback group students received explicit feedback on the targeted structure via e-mail, while...

researchers have suggested that interactional feedback which is between teacher and learner during their writing is associated with l2 learning because it prompts learners to notice l2 forms. this paper reports a classroom-based study that investigated the role of feedback in socio-cultural theory. in this study, 12 efl learners performed on three writing tasks and were provided with a three-st...

The effect of error feedback on the accuracy of output task types such as editing task, text reconstruction task, picture cued writing task, and dictogloss task, has not been clearly explored. Following arguments concerning that the combination of both corrective feedback and output makes it difficult to determine whether their effects were in combination or alone, the purpose of the present st...

This study seeks to investigate the effect of explicit and implicit corrective feedback on the narrative writing of advanced Iranian EFL learners. In so doing, the study was conducted with 76 advanced EFL learners from 3 intact classes at an English language teaching institute in Iran. The sample was selected from among 92 learners by means of Oxford Quick Placement Test. After the researchers ...

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 ...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of learners’ gender on their preferences for corrective feedback. learners’ prefer- ences which were investigated included the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error treatment. to this end, a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) studying english (efl) at shi...

In this paper, it is shown that by exploiting the explicit parametric state feedback solution, it is feasible to obtain the ultimate solution to minimum sensitivity problem. A numerical algorithm for construction of a robust state feedback in eigenvalue assignment problem for a controllable linear system is presented. By using a generalized parametric vector companion form, the problem of eigen...
