Effects of the Red Pen.

Semke, Harriet D.

Foreign Language Annals, v17 n3 p195-202 May 1984

A study of the effects of four methods of correcting free writing assignments in college German is reported. Results indicate student progress is enhanced by writing practice alone. Corrections did not increase writing accuracy, writing fluency, or general language proficiency, and may have a negative effect on student attitudes. (MSE)
