The impact of task type on the role of written feedback in noticing: A focus on model and reformulation

Research output: Journal PublicationArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This study aims to examine the benefits of reformulation and model texts in promoting second language (L2) writers" noticing across task types. A total of 39 Korean students at a university were randomly assigned into two groups: the picture-description group and the essay-writing group. They were asked to report the problematic features noticed (PFNs) they encountered in the first stage of draft-writing. In the second stage, they compared their drafts with the two feedback methods and then reported potential solutions to PFNs from the two feedback methods. Finally, they were encouraged to identify new PFNs from the two feedback methods during the comparison stage. The findings showed that the two feedback methods made complementary contributions to noticing problems and finding solutions in two writing tasks.
