to be cognizant of their error(s) and self-
correct.
Ineffective Forms of Feedback
Recasts
Lyster and Ranta report that recasting was
ineffective in getting students to repair their own
speech, since students may find recasts as
ambiguous or they may not know if the teacher is
responding to the content or the form of what they
said.

Feedback Strategies
5. Learner-centered approach.
Feedback Strategies (Tedick, Gortari)
“Practice a variety of feedback techniques. Good
teachers understand that one size does not fit all.
Individual learners may well differ in terms of the
particular error correction technique most
appropriate for their unique language development
needs.”
“Choosing to learn and use a few different types of
feedback that seem to produce student-generated
repairs increases your chance of reaching more
students.”
Feedback Strategies (Tedick, Gortari)
“Consider the context in which student language
use and errors occur.”
