A small private online course (SPOC) supports blended learning on a small scale, enabling students to have a more comprehensive and deeper learning experience. It also provides instructors with a flexible and feasible model to better understand the students' learning needs and to supervise students' learning behaviors. In this study, we adopted…

The present study investigated the comparison between effectiveness of recast plus explicit correction that can be called analogy-based corrective feedback (CF) and metalinguistic feedback on mastering the target structures of Iranian EFL learners at elementary level.
