Provide theory-based and evidence-based training on oral corrective feedback for EFL teachers¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

Because the studied instructors were largely unaware of OCF strategy types, learner uptake, and research on OCF effectiveness, and because their attitudes were driven by feelings rather than students' cognition, the authors recommend more theory-grounded preparation. They state "the findings suggest a pressing need for more theory-based and evidence-based training regarding ocf for this group of efl college teachers", addressed to language teachers, teacher educators, and decision makers.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Training that connects OCF strategy taxonomies and acquisition research to teachers' actual classroom decisions

Constraints¶

• Derived from a single qualitative case study of six instructors at one university; the authors call for quantitative or experimental research with wider samples for generalizable results

Target Learners¶

• College-level EFL instructors
• Teacher educators

Target Learning Goals¶

• Evidence-informed use of oral corrective feedback strategies in language teaching
