this research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of english participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among iranian intermediate-level efl learners. the overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...

The present study investigated differential effect of two types of feedback namely, computer-mediated and metalinguistic, on Iranian EFL learners’ writing accuracy. To this end, based on Nelson Proficiency Test (300 A), 69 Iranian advanced EFL learners, including 45 males and 24 females, aged between 17 and 24, learning English in language institutes in Salmas, were selected randomly out of the...

 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...

The role of immediate feedback in-group conversations has received scant attention in the recent literature. While studies from the early 1990’s suggested that “added information” in the form of non-verbal cues would allow video conferencing to “augment” the audio-only conference in terms of effectiveness, stunningly little follow-on research has been done reflective of the current state of com...

Numerous studies address the ability of the computer-mediated communication (CMC) medium to carry social cues, e.g., social presence. This paper proposes to expand the study of social cues to include interpersonality measures directed toward messages within the CMC medium. Interpersonality is conceptualized as the joint measure of anticipated feedback and message coherence, factors that disting...

Delivering negative performance feedback is inevitable in the workplace. However, recipients may feel uncomfortable and behave defensively, and may be unwilling to accept negative feedback mainly because they fear losing face. Such unproductive responses are heightened when negative feedback is delivered through computer-mediated communication (CMC) channels in which many nonverbal cues in face...
