ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of different types of error-correction feedback on Korean middle school students’ writing. Twenty-four advanced level of first grade middle school students were chosen. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups and performed three consecutive composition tasks. All of three different types of feedback, electronic feedback, conference and written feedback, were provided for each group in a different order. The effects of different types of feedback were measured by comparing the rate of errors produced and corrected between the first and revised draft. In pre and post writing test, students showed great improvement in the number of words produced, but the number of errors in two tests did not differ, implying no improvement of their writing accuracy. Further, the teacher’s feedback on errors had positive effects on students’ revision activity. Students made correct revisions about 60% to 70% of their first errors in their revised writing. Yet, the type of feedback provided and the tasks assigned did not have any relationship with the correction activities. Further classroom implications are suggested based on the study results.
