Subclaims¶

q2 i? Explicit correction significantly improved accurate tense-marker production from pretest to posttest (t=6.92, p<0.05). → Tari 2008 q2 i? Or-choice feedback significantly improved accurate tense-marker production from pretest to posttest (t=4.30, p<0.05). → Tari 2008

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental two-group classroom study of 30 beginner female EFL learners receiving feedback on tense markers for 10 sessions. The article reports "the posttest means are significantly higher than the pretest means" for both groups, with t=6.92 (Group A) and t=4.30 (Group B); no effect size is printed.

"From Figure 1, it is quite evident that the posttest means are significantly higher than the pretest means: t=6.92, p<0.05 for Group A, and t= 4.30, p<0.05 for Group B."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Explicit correction was more effective than implicit or-choice feedback for beginner Iranian EFL learners' production of English tense markers — related
• The explicit correction and or-choice groups were statistically equivalent on the tense-marker pretest before instruction — related
• Corrective feedback on second-language errors has a significant effect on L2 development that is maintained on delayed tests — a broader claim this one bears on
• Planned focus on form via corrective feedback on simple past tense errors improves Iranian EFL learners' oral accuracy by the final treatment session — related
