Abstract :
Corrective feedback has recently drawn plenty of interest in applied linguistics. It is used to provide learners of a foreign language with comments on the correctness of their linguistic output. This study investigated the probable effectiveness of full/partial recast, metalinguistic, elicitation, and clarification request corrective feedbacks on intermediate introvert/extrovert Iranian EFL learners’ speaking ability. The participants included 120 English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners who had completed IELTS preparation classes. They were selected through convenience sampling and split into two groups which were specified by two raters having a checklist of IELTS speaking band descriptors. For this research, the experimental group participants received corrective feedback, while the control group participants received no comments. Then researcher administered the posttest. The findings revealed a significant difference between the speaking ability of the experimental and control groups in the posttest. The results indicated no difference between the speaking ability of the introvert and extrovert learners.
