چکیده

Giving corrective feedback (CF) is an essential part of the teaching and learning process, and the way it should beneficially be done has been the focus of attention for numerous researchers especially when traditional ways of CF provision are not possible, particularly in rare situations such as outbreaks of diseases. This study investigated how different ways of giving feedback; namely, through online chats and class discussions can help language learners in benefitting from their instructors’ CF provision. To this purpose, the effects of two ways of feedback provision were tested on the participants writing quality. Three hundred and seventeen Iranian EFL learners took a TOEFL test, ۱۳۲ of them (۵۳ males and ۷۹ females) scoring between ۴۷۷ and ۵۱۰ were asked to deliver a ۲۰۰-word writing task. Then, they were randomly put into ۴ experimental and control groups to undergo different treatments, i.e. receiving CF through online chats and class discussions for ۱۰ one-hour sessions. After the treatment, they were required to deliver another ۲۰۰-word piece of writing. The results of statistical data analysis showed that the writing quality of the participants receiving CF through online chats was significantly higher than that of those who received CF through class discussions. The findings of this research have practical implications for Iranian educational system to update its instructional methods and for the nature of teaching and learning processes and practices.
