DARE Project: The Context Matters: An Investigation of Oral Corrective Feedback in the Adult ESL Classroom
Program(s) of Study: Speech and Language Sciences
Project Supervisor: Antonella Valeo

I learned about first-hand research experience by participating in the research process. Through this experience, I gained a better understanding of how research is conducted, including data collection and the importance of ethical research practices. It also gave me insight into the challenges and rewards of conducting research and strengthened my interest in waht feedback does in language learning.

Project Description:

The Context Matters: An Investigation of Oral Corrective Feedback in the Adult ESL Classroom is a research project that is concerned with the role of corrective feedback in language teaching and learning. The study examines how teachers use and how learners respond to oral corrective feedback in the language classroom. The study seeks to understand a) how teachers make decisions about their use of corrective feedback strategies, b) how learners engage with various strategies to learn language, and c) how features of the classroom context play a role in both pedagogy and learner engagement with oral corrective feedback.
