书面纠正性反馈对不同性质错误的纠正效果

Effects of Written Corrective Feedback on the Errors of Different Nature

通过"前测-反馈-即时后测-延时后测"实验设计,在研究书面纠正性反馈总体效果的基础上,重点考察反馈方式对不同性质错误的纠正效果。实验结果显示:母语为汉语的EFL环境下,书面纠正性反馈总体有效,说明反馈作为一种教学方式对外语学习具有促进作用;不管语内还是语际错误,元语言反馈效果最好,其次为直接反馈,而间接反馈效果不太明显,说明纠正性反馈的效果基本上与反馈方式的显性程度成正比;无论语内还是语际错误,直接反馈与元语言反馈皆有很好的即时效果,但语际错误的延时效果却远逊于语内错误,说明母语的隐性干扰会在很大程度上影响反馈的长期效果。本研究发现可为现实二语写作纠错提供有价值的参考。

The present study,through a"pretest-treatment-immediate posttest-delayed posttest"experiment,examines the general effectiveness of written corrective feedback( WCF) with the focus on the effects of WCF on the errors of different nature. The results show that,in the Chinese-as-L1 EFL context,the WCF is effective on the whole,indicating that WCF is facilitative to foreign language learning as a teaching method. Regardless of the nature of errors,the direct meta linguistic WCF achieves the best results,followed by the direct WCF,but the indirect WCF does not produce apparent effect,demonstrating that the effectiveness of WCF is proportionate to its explicitness. The direct WCF and the direct meta linguistic WCF gain great immediate effects with both the intra-and inter-linguistic errors,while their delayed effects are far poorer with the inter-linguistic errors,proving that implicit L1 interference may exert powerful negative influence on the long-term effectiveness of WCF. The findings will shed light on error correction in L2 writing in reality.
