TUJ Tokyo Distinguished Lecturer Series: Oral Corrective Feedback in Language Pedagogy and SLA

Saturday, July 8th, 2017, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Rod Ellis (Curtin University, Australia)

The purpose of this seminar is to explore the extent to which the approach to correcting learners oral errors evident in popular teacher guides is compatible with research that has investigated the effect of oral corrective feedback on second language acquisition. The approach adopted will be to first undertake a critical review of standard pedagogic positions regarding the provision of oral corrective feedback and then examine what second language acquisition researchers have discovered about the effect it has on acquisition. In this way, SLA theory and research serves as a basis for reflecting critically on established pedagogical practices.
