本研究比较了两种形式的书面反馈--直接纠正反馈(DCF)和元语言解释反馈(ME)--对日本大学生使用不定冠词和假设条件句两种语法结构的准确性的影响。这两种类型的反馈都是在有机会重写和没有重写的情况下提供的。使用的准确性是通过新的写作来衡量的。反馈提高了假设条件冠词的准确率,但不能提高不确定冠词的准确率。事实证明,DCF的有效性比ME更持久。此外,提供修改的机会也增强了反馈的效果。总体而言,折现和修订被证明是最有效的反馈类型。研究结果表明,当以形式为中心的书面反馈针对两个显著程度和复杂程度不同的特征时,学习者可能会把注意力集中在对文本整体意义贡献更大的结构上。研究结果还表明,直接纠正学习者在复杂句法结构上所犯的错误比给他们一个元语言解释更有益处。
The study compared the effects of two types of form-focused written feedback—direct corrective feedback (DCF) and metalinguistic explanation (ME) given to the whole class—on Japanese university students’ accuracy of use of two grammatical structures: indefinite article and the hypothetical conditional. Both types of feedback were given with and without an opportunity to rewrite. Accuracy of use was measured in new pieces of writing. The feedback led to increased accuracy for the hypothetical conditional but not for the indefinite article. The effectiveness of the DCF proved longer lasting than the ME. Also, providing opportunity for revision enhanced the effect of the feedback. Overall, DCF followed by revision proved the most effective type of feedback. The results suggest that when form-focused written feedback is directed at two features that vary in saliency and complexity, learners are likely to focus on the structure that contributes more to the global meaning of the text. The results also indicate that directly correcting the errors learners make with respect to a complex syntactical structure is more beneficial than giving them a metalinguistic explanation.
