Corrective Feedback 2: Exploring the Discourse with Dr. Hossein Nassaji
We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, to produce an 8-part mini series on the topic of Corrective Feedback. The series explores the area of corrective feedback through interviews with 8 scholars in the field. All interviews are conducted by students in Dr. Eva Kartchava's MA class at Carleton University as a means of assessment to connect researchers to their audience and have her students generate a greater level of understanding and investment in the research from the course. If you are interested in having a similar series produced for your class or institute, you can contact us: info@learnyourenglish.com
This is episode 2 in our series. In this episode, Dr. Hossein Nassaji joins the program to discuss corrective feedback. Dr. Hossein is an award-winning scholar and Professor of Applied Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC. He has authored over 100 articles and many books. His forthcoming handbook on corrective feedback, The Cambridge Handbook of Corrective Feedback in Second Language Learning and Teaching with Eva Kartchava, is a comprehensive volume that discusses current issues and perspectives on corrective feedback and their applications to second language teaching and learning.
Specifically in this episode, Dr. Nassaji tells us about:
the roles corrective feedback plays in language learning
how culture impacts feedback effectiveness
the debate between immediate and delayed feedback
written vs oral feedback and the efficacy of written feedback
the what, when, why, and if of explicit & implicit feedback
how teachers can learn about and implement corrective feedback in their classes
*This interview was conducted by Kelsey Ulrich-Verslycken and Lana Haj Hamid
Throughout the series, MA students from Dr. Kartchava's class will interview leading experts in the field of corrective feedback. We thank Dr. Kartchava for joining this episode and for spearheading this initiative
