초록
In the field of teaching second language writing, it has been questioned whether written corrective feedback is effective or not. In responding to this contentious and ongoing question, this study was conducted to introduce a newly designed instructional strategy in writing and test its efficacy over both short and long periods of time. Intermediate level university students (N=85) received three different types of feedback, namely, blended, conventional, and control, and 425 writing samples were analyzed from the pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2, respectively. The results indicate that there was no difference between the blended design and conventional feedback group in reducing the error rates over a short-term period. However, striking differences found between two groups over a long term period imply that the newly designed instructional strategy is much more effective than its counterparts (in the conventional and control groups) in reducing error rates and multiplying the effect of revision on the subsequent and new pieces of writing. Before jumping to any harsh conclusion, the researcher postulates that further research validating the findings of the result is highly desirable, and will deepen the understanding toward the nature of complex and context-sensitive second language writing.
Abstract
In the field of teaching second language writing, it has been questioned whether written corrective feedback is effective or not. In responding to this contentious and ongoing question, this study was conducted to introduce a newly designed instructional strategy in writing and test its efficacy over both short and long periods of time. Intermediate level university students (N=85) received three different types of feedback, namely, blended, conventional, and control, and 425 writing samples were analyzed from the pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2, respectively. The results indicate that there was no difference between the blended design and conventional feedback group in reducing the error rates over a short-term period. However, striking differences found between two groups over a long term period imply that the newly designed instructional strategy is much more effective than its counterparts (in the conventional and control groups) in reducing error rates and multiplying the effect of revision on the subsequent and new pieces of writing. Before jumping to any harsh conclusion, the researcher postulates that further research validating the findings of the result is highly desirable, and will deepen the understanding toward the nature of complex and context-sensitive second language writing.
