My IATEFL 2022 presentation is scheduled for Thursday 19 May 2022, 12.45-13.15, at Hilton Lagan Room A.

This talk reviews various forms of written corrective feedback (instruction offered in response to errors in learners’ written output with a view to helping them build awareness, knowledge, and strategic competence to better monitor their writing in the future), and examines the effectiveness of direct and indirect forms of feedback in light of research findings.

My slides can be downloaded here.
