Feedback provision through WhatsApp for L2 grammar learning: Participants’ views

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Attaining an advanced level of a foreign language can be an arduous task for many learners, being grammar one of the most challenging aspects to master (Jean & Simard, 2011). Nevertheless, with the rising popularity of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), new approaches to language teaching have emerged, such as the use of instant messaging applications (Tragant et al., 2022), which have been shown to promote grammar development (Murphy et al., 2023). Moreover, feedback plays a crucial role when learning grammar (Valezy & Spada, 2006), but learners’ perceptions of such learning process tend to be overlooked. The present study tries to fill this gap by inspecting learners’ views on using WhatsApp, a worldwide famous instant messaging application, as a means of receiving feedback for grammar learning.
