Analysis of audio recordings of one conversation partner group (three PIE learners plus one MA TESOL conversation leader) over three weeks, coded for interactional feedback. The article reports "only 08 instances of interact ional feedback and just on e instance of response to feedback" and calls this "a very low number of occurrences".

"To summarize the findings only 08 instances of interact ional feedback and just on e instance of response to feedback occurred for the total three and half hours of interaction. This can be interpreted as a very low number of occurrences."
