Interactional Feedback and Children's L2 Development.

Mackey, Alison; Oliver, Rhonda

System, v30 n4 p459-77 Dec 2002

Explored effects of interactional feedback on children's second language (L2) development in a prettest/posttest design. Child learners carried out communicative tasks that provided contexts for targeted forms and interactional feedback to occur. An experimental group received interactional feedback in response to non-targetlike production of question forms, while the control group interacted but did not receive feedback. (Author/VWL)
