Contextualizing corrective feedback in second language writing pedagogy

This article is about how teachers can assist students to produce linguistically accurate writing with the help of given corrective feedback after each writing assignment. To present an innovative instructional methodology designed to improve second language (L2) writing accuracy – a dynamic written corrective feedback (WCF). Moreover, the authors’ of this article submit a practical guideline that can be utilized effectively in the classroom – error-correction strategy. The article concludes with the preliminary results from an exploratory pilot study using this instructional methodology.
Authors point out that – WCF can improve writing accuracy, but the debates of the value of WCF should be reframed. It is explained that majority of L2 writing teachers tried to use WCF, but the results were unsuccessful, so they discontinued practising it. So, the authors imply a notion that many teachers simply have not been doing WCF or measuring its results appropriately. Furthermore, authors explain contextual factors which might affect and do an impact for learning from WCF: learner, situational and methodological variables. After explaining contextual factors, authors describe instructional methodology - dynamic WCF. This type of feedback can be clarified as a continuously given feedback to the students about their writing skills. Before moving to the results of the pilot study, the authors deliver the description and employment of error-correction strategy. Finally, they submit their own study results using presented instructional methodology.
The data collected for this research was conducted in two separate ESL Applied Grammar (AG) classes in two separate semesters. The students were taught by the same teacher, classes met four times a week in 65-minute sessions over a 13-week semester. The researchers tried to see whether the student’s written linguistic accuracy will improve when dynamic WCF is used. The researchers utilised two different types of measure to assess writing accuracy in their pilot...
