Now people have realized that the key factor that influences the language education most is teachers＇ self-development and the promotion of teachers＇ personalities. A new teaching concept -- reflective teaching has become very popular in the educational circles. It emphasizes that students should become positive and active learners while teachers should bear more dynamic and capacities for self-development.展开更多

A case study was constructed to discover how effective the target students could self-correct their writing mistakes against the teachers' feedback. The findings may give some insights into the role of self- correction in teaching L2 writing.展开更多
