Error Correction: An Indication of Consciousness Raising

Bu çalışmanın amacı yapı odaklı öğretimin ve dönüt türünün öğrenme üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemektir. Deney grubundaki öğrencilere hatalarına dair düzeltici dönütler verilmiştir. Bu dönütler; yönlendiriciler, ifadelerin daha netleştirilmesinin istenilmesi, tekrarlatmalar, öğrenciden cevabın alınması ve dilötesi ipuçları şeklinde sağlanmıştır. Ancak, kontrol grubuna aynı eğitim verilmesine rağmen, bu geribildirimlerin hiçbiri sağlanmamıştır. 15 oturumluk (30 saat) uygulama süresince, katılımcılara hedeflenen dil yapılarını kullanmaları için farklı sınıf içi görevler verilmiştir. Korelasyon katsayısı ve t-test aracılığı ile yapılan veri analizi sonuçları, deney grubundaki katılımcıların kontrol grubundakilere oranla daha başarılı olduğunu göstermektedir.

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of form-focused instruction and feedback type on learning. The learners in treatment group received corrective feedback in the form of prompts, including clarification requests, repetitions, elicitations, and meta-linguistic clues while the learners in the control group received the same instruction as the experimental group without any kind of feedback. The participants were assigned different tasks in order to use the aimed structures during the 15 treatment sessions (30 hours). The analysis of the data done through correlation coefficient and t-test indicated the outperformance of the participants in experimental group over the performance of the participants in control group.
