公開講演会「What is the Ideal Time to Provide Corrective Feedback?」
INFORMATION
The timing of corrective feedback (alternatively “feedback timing”) refers to the choice of a time point to provide feedback on learners’ errors in second language (L2) comprehension or production. Despite its theoretical and pedagogical significance, there has been insufficient attention to feedback timing in L2 research. In this talk, I conceptualize the construct of feedback timing, discuss ways it can be operationalized, and elaborate on the mechanisms through which it impacts L2 learning. I extend the scope of feedback timing beyond the dichotomy between immediate and delayed feedback and adopt an integrated perspective where feedback timing is embedded in the ecosystem of L2 instruction. I then review the limited research that has been conducted, which falls into four categories: (1) feedback timing in communicative tasks; (2) feedback timing in drill-type activities; (3) synchronous and asynchronous written corrective feedback; and (4) beliefs, attitudes, and practices relating to feedback timing. I conclude the talk by discussing pedagogical implications and identifying future directions.
