Description¶

The review highlights learner-provided corrective feedback and recommends strategy training as a way to strengthen the role of CF during peer interaction. As the abstract states, "CF provided by learners and the potential benefits of strategy training for strengthening the role of CF during peer interaction are highlighted". The strategy equips learners to notice and respond to each other's errors in pair and group work, where teacher CF is absent, thereby extending feedback opportunities beyond teacher-led exchanges.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Peer interaction activities must be in place so that learners have opportunities to provide CF to one another

Constraints¶

• The benefits are described as potential; the review highlights rather than definitively establishes them

Target Learners¶

• Second language learners working in pairs or groups

Target Learning Goals¶

• Second language accuracy through peer corrective feedback

Claims¶

• EFL instructors were unaware of most OCF strategy types and did not consider students' cognition when deciding on corrective feedback [+W]
• Theoretical perspectives support corrective feedback while contentious issues remain about uptake, instruction, and CF's purpose [+W]
