q2 · i? · review · r2
The review reports Nipaspong and Chinokul's (2010) three-group study (explicit feedback, prompt, control) on refusals, using parallel pretest/posttest and interview protocols over 10 weeks; the prompts group won on pragmatic awareness. No effect size is printed.
"results from a pragmatic awareness multiple-choice test and qualitative data revealed a significant increase in pragmatic awareness, especially with regard to unconventional refusal expressions, for the prompts group over the explicit feedback and the control groups."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Metapragmatic written feedback outperformed direct feedback on recognizing appropriate email requests, while both treatments beat control on production — related
- Instruction in L2 pragmatics produces large gains, with effectiveness moderated by learner gender and treatment type — a broader claim this one bears on
- Corrective feedback on second-language errors has a significant effect on L2 development that is maintained on delayed tests — related
- Corrective feedback facilitates L2 grammatical development, with explicit feedback stronger immediately and implicit feedback better maintained over time — related
- All four written CF types, including metalinguistic code CF, outperformed the control group on the delayed posttest of explicit L2 knowledge two weeks later. — related
