Abstract

This study compares the effects of distributed versus massed corrective feedback (CF) on Spanish differential object marking (DOM). Forty‐eight Spanish learners completed three communicative tasks with a researcher on three consecutive days, one task per day. Partial recasts were used to reformulate DOM errors. The distributed group (n = 16) received feedback in all three tasks. The massed group (n = 16) received feedback in the last task. The control group (n = 16) received no feedback. The total amount of CF provided to the two CF groups was controlled. Learners completed oral production and grammaticality judgment pre, post, and delayed posttests. Results showed that the massed group scored significantly higher than the control group across test types and times. However, the distributed group scored significantly higher than the control group only on the immediate and delayed oral production tests. We argue that the temporal contiguity, intensity, and consistency of feedback instances in the massed condition might be responsible for the relative superiority of the massed CF.

分布与集中矫正反馈对西班牙语差别物体标记习得的影响

本研究比较了分布式和集中校正反馈（CF）对西班牙语差异对象标记（DOM）的影响。四十八名西班牙语学习者连续三天与一名研究人员完成了三项交际任务，每天一项。部分重铸被用来重新表述DOM错误。分布式组（n＝16）在所有三个任务中都接收到反馈。聚集的组（n＝16）在最后一个任务中接收到反馈。对照组（n=16）未收到任何反馈。控制提供给两个CF组的CF的总量。学习者完成了前、后和延迟后测的口语生产和语法判断。结果显示，在测试类型和时间上，集合组的得分明显高于对照组。然而，仅在即时和延迟的口腔生产测试中，分布组的得分显著高于对照组。我们认为，集中条件下反馈实例的时间邻接性、强度和一致性可能是集中CF相对优越性的原因。
