        This research is a quasi-experimental study investigating the effect of different types of teacher Written Corrective Feedback (WCF) on Iranian EFL learners’ writing accuracy in using two functions of English articles (the first mention and anaphoric reference) and simple past tense (regular and irregular). Ninety-four Iranian learners of English were assigned into three experimental groups of direct feedback group (n=24), indirect feedback group (n=24), direct plus indirect feedback group (n=24), and one pilot group (n=22). The participating groups’ homogeneity was checked by their performance in the proficiency test and the pre-test. During six treatment sessions, each of the three groups received feedback type. The papers with attached comments were returned to the participants. On two occasions (pre-test and post-test), the participants completed a picture description task. The results of one-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference in the performance of the three groups. Furthermore, Scheffe post-hoc analysis indicated that the direct group outperformed direct plus indirect group, and direct plus indirect group outperformed the indirect group. تفاصيل المقالة

        Abstract The study aimed at investigating the efficacy of written corrective feedback (CF) in improving Iranian EFL learners’ grammatical accuracy. It compared the effects of focused and unfocused written CF on the learners’ grammatical accuracy. 75 EFL students formed a one control and two experimental groups. The focused feedback group was provided with error correction in tenses. The unfocused feedback group was provided with error correction in tense, articles, spelling, pronouns, vocabulary, and prepositions. The results indicated a significant improvement in accuracy for the two experimental groups from pretest to posttest. The outcomes demonstrated that giving written CF was effective, which enhanced learners' grammatical accuracy, and that focused and unfocused written CF were not of differential significant effect in such manner. The results on the construct of the attitudinal questionnaire indicated learners’ preference in two experimental groups for the interactional activities, error correction, and the different type of CF techniques. The mean scores on each content area of the questionnaire suggested that learners in the focused group scored higher than the other groups in their attitudes toward the errors to be corrected. تفاصيل المقالة

        3 - Investigating the Effect of Implicit and Explicit Oral Corrective Feedback on Iranian EFL Learners’ Speaking Ability: The Interactive Role of Self-Regulation Strategy

        This study aimed to investigate the influence of two types of OCF on Iranian EFL learners’ speaking skills, the effect of SRS on EFL learners’ speaking proficiency, and the interactive role of self-regulation strategy (SRS) with the two types of OCF. The research involved 60 female teenage students from Gonbad-e-Kavous secondary high school in Golestan province, divided into three groups of twenty: ‘control,’ ‘implicit,’ and ‘explicit.’ The Oxford Placement Test (OPT) was used to homogenize the students’ language proficiency levels. Consent forms and self-regulation questionnaires were distributed at the beginning of the experiment. The data was collected through pre-test and post-test speaking assessments (using IELTS sample tests) and analyzed using Two-Way ANOVA and Two-Way ANCOVA. The results revealed that there were significant differences between the explicit, implicit, and control groups' post-test means after considering the pretest's impact. Additionally, there was a notable variance between the low and high self-regulation groups' average scores in relation to their post-test results, even after accounting for the pretest's impact. Finally, there was no significant interaction between the types of feedback (explicit, implicit, and control) and self-regulation levels. The current investigation is of importance for language teachers to integrate supplementary techniques of corrective feedback in their teaching approaches, with a focus on explicit corrections during the oral assignments of students. تفاصيل المقالة
