The Importance of Corrective Feedback in leaning a Foreign Language

Abstract

Background: The role of corrective feedback CF is debated in foreign language acquisition FLA.It has not been unequivocally shown the CF is effective in FLA, In particular not in the case of on-line processing, as in oral foreign language FL proficiency. This might be because, to date, it has not been feasible to create appropriate research conditions, we claim that these problems can be alleviated by resorting to computer assisted language learning CALL environment in which learners receive CF individually, on spoken output. Also the role of corrective feedback in FL has received much attention, and it is still atypical issue. Studies on the effectiveness of CF have produced mixed result. An essential problem seems to be that most studies on CF do not take account of individual. Characteristics influence the effectiveness of CF. This point to the necessity of developing research paradigms for CF that can take account of individual learner variation and that can adapt to the learners needs and preference .We suggest using a CALL system that exploits automatic speech recognition ASR and that is designed to adapt to individual learner different.
