A growing body of literature on the pedagogical effectiveness of clickers in a second language (L2) context has revealed that clickers can promote learning. However, the extent to which clickers play a role in L2 acquisition compared to other pedagogical approaches lacks consensus; in addition, most research has focused on adult learners and has…

Second language (L2) writing, a cognitively demanding process, has also been perceived to encompass emotional aspects for L2 writers, as they tend to exhibit various feelings toward teacher feedback on their writing performance. Therefore, the current study explored English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Vietnamese students' emotions toward…

Video recordings have been used in pre-service teacher preparation programs to facilitate greater self-reflection through pre-service teachers' observation of their own and their peers' microteaching. Few studies have, however, examined the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the use of peer feedback reaction videos on their…

Although peer-feedback has been extensively studied in the field of foreign language pedagogy, research related to how students are involved in the process emotionally is limited. The purpose of the present study was to investigate emotions experienced by undergraduate students enrolled in ELT (English language teaching) at a state university as…

As an important instructional affordance, teacher written feedback is widely used in second language (L2) writing contexts. While copious evidence has shown that such a pedagogical practice can facilitate L2 learners' writing performance, especially their writing accuracy, little is known about how novice writing teachers conceptualize and enact…

This study investigated the relationship between learner beliefs about peer feedback and development of second language (L2) pronunciation skills after peer feedback on pronunciation had been used in the classroom. Seventy-four first-year learners of German were assigned to a peer feedback provider group, a peer feedback receiver group, and a…

This study seeks to investigate the impact of a real-time multi-peer feedback process with the use of a web-based polling software on adult e-learners' learning performance. Two groups of participants with 30 members in each were involved in the experiment. In the two-and-a-half-hour experiment, the experimental group adopted a web-based polling…

Using the single-group pre-posttest design, this exploratory study examined whether L2 learners of English can learn a speech act by experiencing perlocutionary effects of the act as feedback (observing their interlocutor's reactions to their choice of speech act expressions). Sixty undergraduate English learners at a university in China played a…

This experimental study investigated the impact of explicit and implicit feedback on acquiring Arabic grammar for second learners. The participants were forty-five lower-intermediate male participants studying Arabic as a second language in a Saudi Arabian language institution. All participants were equally divided into three groups; the explicit…

This study investigates the effectiveness of feedback provided by teachers versus feedback generated by the Write & Improve platform in enhancing the writing skills of senior undergraduate students enrolled in a "two foreign language" program at a private university in Kazakhstan. The quasi-experimental design involved four teachers,…

Purpose: This study aims to examine factors that affect the effectiveness of transfer of English language training to the workplace. It investigates the effect of trainee characteristics, training design and work climate on the training transfer to job performance in hospitals in Thailand. Design/methodology/approach: The quantitative method was…

Feedback can be conceived as a scaffolding strategy aimed at knowledge construction and self-regulation. Despite its pedagogical value in fostering learning processes, empirical studies on feedback in translation pedagogy are scarce. In this paper, we focus on the written corrective feedback provided by lecturers in specialised student-written…

This paper explores the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) into peer feedback in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing class as a collaborative companion, aiming at enhancing peer feedback engagement and improving overall writing ability. This study first proposes a framework for integrating GAI in peer feedback,…

The literature has revealed the impact of personal factors on feedback-seeking behavior (FSB) in second language (L2) writing. However, little is known about how teacher academic support influences FSB in L2 writing and whether this relationship is mediated by L2 writing self (ideal and ought-to L2 writing selves). To address the lacunae, this…

The study is designed to examine the effectiveness of corrective feedback (CF) from Chinese second language (L2) teachers to their students in mainland China. Investigations into how CF works were carried out based on three aspects: teachers' perceptions of CF effectiveness, factors affecting it, and their interplay. An ecological approach--the…
