- Abstract
-
Written corrective feedback has been the subject of considerable debate among
researchers in EFL/ESL writing. Each research claims the dominance of type of corrective
feedback used is more powerful than others. This study investigated the effect of direct and
indirect corrective feedback on EFL writing at different proficiency level (N=63) where the
previous research claiming direct corrective feedback contributes in grammatical accuracy
(Mirzaii & Aliabadi, 2014; van Beuningen et al., 2012) while the others argue oppositely
(Eslami, 2014; Jamalinesari, 2014). Results showed that the students taught with Direct
Corrective Feedback (DCF) produce better writing than those taught with Indirect Corrective
Feedback (ICF) in EFL writing. Moreover, results also revealed the effect of Direct Corrective
Feedback (DCF) and Indirect Corrective Feedback (ICF) in EFL writing doesn’t depend on the
level of proficiency. Further research should consider the efficacy of longitudinal study of direct
corrective feedback for students with low and high proficiency in EFL writing. - Downloads
