Treating Errors in Learners’ Writing: Strategies of Written Corrective Feedback
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The paper analyzes the concepts concerning errors and error types and synthesizes previous research related to written corrective feedback. Furthermore, the paper acknowledges the limitations and challenges associated with WCF, such as the time-consuming nature and potential misalignment between students’ preferences and teachers’ practices. To address this issue, the paper provides several teaching suggestions based on a comprehensive literature review. The strategies proposed include considering the timing and frequency of WCF, tailoring WCF to learners’ individual needs and abilities, and monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of WCF. The paper emphasizes the crucial role of providing WCF that is both constructive and motivating in nature. This type of WCF not merely aims to rectify errors in learners’ writing but also serves as a catalyst, inspiring them to embrace responsibility for their own learning process and actively strive for improvement.
