A study on the oral correction of syntactical and morphological errors in high school EFL learners

Abstract

The aim of this work is to find out how teachers at some schools, use oral feedback when they correct students’ errors. We also want to ascertain what kind of oral feedback and techniques teachers use with their students’ incorrect utterances. Finally, the last objective of this study is to determine how many types of oral feedback are given every class by teachers. The results of our investigation show that teachers combine different oral feedback on different occasions depending on their work experience. Most teachers prefer to give multiple feedbacks in the same turn in a specific situation. They can either be direct or indirect, to a single student or later on to the whole class.
