This study explored the role of feedback-seeking behaviors (FSB) in how English-as-a-second language (ESL) learners benefit from written corrective feedback (WCF). Seventy-six learners enrolled in an ESL writing course at a major university in the United States completed an FSB questionnaire, wrote a narrative essay, received WCF on their essays,…

This study aims to understand the ways in which problem-based teaching in a mathematics content course can alleviate pre-service elementary school teachers' mathematics anxiety. The significance of this work is to help increase the content and pedagogical knowledge of mathematics education, as outlined in STEM policies. Using a mixed method…

The 21st-century mathematics classrooms should equip learners with well-grounded knowledge and thinking skills pertaining to geometry. However, Euclidean geometry remains one of the challenging, if not the most difficult topic for many learners. As a result, the purpose of this article is to interpret Grade 12 learners' learning difficulties in…

In the context of globalization and modernization, English is indispensable for Vietnam's engagement in global development. Nevertheless, a significant number of English language students are unaware of the obstacles and errors that they make when speaking. This study premises that speaking can be enhanced through teachers' feedback, particularly…

Guessing translations of foreign words ("hodei?"), before viewing corrective feedback ("hodei-cloud"), leads to better subsequent memory for correct translations than studying intact pairs ("hodei-cloud"), even when guesses are always incorrect (Potts & Shanks, 2014), but the mechanism underlying this effect is…

Homework is considered as a substantial process of learning especially for engineering education. However, due to the fast development of network technology, students now can easily find solution manuals on the internet. While some students use solution manuals to study, there are quite a few students who just copy homework solutions and lose…

We investigated whether children's inhibitory control (IC) is associated with their ability to produce irregular past tense verb forms as well as learn from corrective feedback following overregularization errors. Forty-eight 3;6 to 4;5 year old children were tested on the irregular past tense and provided with adult corrective input via models of…

This study investigates how pre-service teachers of English as a foreign language do correction during their initial teaching practice at lower-secondary schools. The study employs multimodal conversation analysis on a dataset of 16 lessons taught by three pre-service teachers in Czechia. The analysis focuses specifically on how the teachers…

Student modeling is useful in educational research and technology development due to a capability to estimate latent student attributes. Widely used approaches, such as the Additive Factors Model (AFM), have shown satisfactory results, but they can only handle binary outcomes, which may yield potential information loss. In this work, we propose a…

Discover the value of small-group reading instruction that accommodates students' individual literacy needs. Author Julie A. Taylor provides lesson plan templates to incorporate small groups into any learning structure. Teachers will design laser-targeted skills and strategy lessons to create more productive, positive, and equitable classrooms by…

This article presents a seasoned ESL teacher's self-observation account of how her oral corrective feedback (CF) beliefs and practices evolved over a 20-week period of participation in a CF professional development course alongside regular reflective journal writing. The teacher wrote three reflective journals (before, midway, and after the study)…

Teaching with acoustical guidance involves auditory feedback (e.g., a click sound when a desired behavior occurs) as part of a multicomponent intervention known as TAGteach. TAGteach has been found to improve performance in sport, dance, surgical technique, and walking. We compared the efficacy and efficiency of the standard TAGteach…

In this portrait, Maleka Donaldson vividly illustrates how two teachers in real-world, public school settings convey their expectations for kindergarten student performance and set the tone for learning from mistakes and feedback. Research in psychology and education has established the benefits of corrective feedback on learning but has not…

Inspired by Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and Storch's framework of peer interaction, this study investigated the nature and outcome of peer interaction in EFL (English as a foreign language) learners' peer review and revision activities. During two 16-week semesters, 32 lower-intermediate learners participated in an Advanced Writing university…

Purpose: Cleft palate is one of the most common birth defects in the United States. Most of these children receive speech therapy by preschool and school-based clinicians. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive tutorial for speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs) regarding treatment techniques and principles for children…
