BC TEAL is proud to present our 2025 Annual Conference: Disruptive Educational Practices: Strategies for Transformation.
Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.
Researchers have suggested that interactional feedback which is between teacher and learner during their writing is associated with L2 learning because it prompts learners to notice L2 forms. Giving corrective feedback in a procedural stage and starting from implicit and moving to explicit one by a teacher can help learners internalize the form. This feedback in the writing can be with specific grammar point, choice of vocabularies, tenses, articles, subject-verb agreement, countable and uncountable. Also, in the online classes some computerized feedback can help learners to focus more and find out their mistakes. This kind of feedback can be in the form of prefabricated comments by using Artificial Intelligence(AI). For giving feedback the typology of corrective feedback can be used. Typology of corrective feedback in writing adapted from Ellis (2009) ●Direct: The teacher crossing out the mistakes ●Indirect : the teacher just mentioned the students made some mistakes ●Metalinguistic: the teacher comments on mistakes ●The focus of feedback: the teacher selectively ●Electronic: The teacher provides hyperlink to the learners that provides some correct examples ●Reformulation: the teacher rewrites student’s writing. One type of giving feedback can be : 1.Metalinguistic implicit corrective feedback: The teacher provided some kind of metalinguistic clues at the bottom of the writings and provided some examples. 2.Metalinguistic implicit-explicit corrective feedback: The teacher highlighted the line which contained the error; she neither underlined the error itself nor provided the corrected form. 3.Explicit corrective feedback: The teacher would directly and explicitly correct the error by writing the correct form for the student
