Qualitative case study of six college EFL instructors at a Mexican university interviewed face-to-face; directed content analysis of interview transcripts found that "recast and body language, two implicit strategies, were favored" over explicit strategies.
"instructors showed more positive attitudes towards the use of some implicit strategies over explicit ones. For instance, recast and body language, two implicit strategies, were favored."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- EFL instructors were unaware of most OCF strategy types and did not consider students' cognition when deciding on corrective feedback — related
- Teachers' attitudes towards oral corrective feedback are guided mainly by considerations of students' feelings, which override cognitive and other components — related
- The teacher was the principal provider of oral corrective feedback, with peer and self-correction rarely proactively promoted — related
- Instructors favored delayed over immediate oral corrective feedback, believing immediate correction intimidates students — related
- The literature is supportive of recasts, but recast effectiveness varies with the language area and learner knowledge, focus, and aptitudes — related
- The frequency of oral corrective feedback differs across instructional contexts — related
- Learners prefer receiving corrective feedback more than teachers feel they should provide it — related
