Abstract

Studies on feedback given to second language (L2) learners have focused primarily on learners’ response to feedback on language. This study explores how L2 learners in one university EAP class respond to teacher written feedback on all aspects of writing and the factors that may affect their response. Using data from student initial and revised texts, the study first looks at nine learners’ uptake of feedback. Then, adopting a case study approach and using data from retrospective interviews, the study examines how three learners engage with feedback on different dimensions of their writing. Findings show that learners took up almost all feedback suggestions regardless of form or focus. Yet, learners’ engagement with the feedback differed. Using activity theory (AT), we explain the learners’ engagement with the feedback received by reference to the interaction of context and individual-related factors. Our findings highlight the complexity of learner behavior in response to feedback.

第二语言学习者对书面反馈的参与

关于第二语言学习者反馈的研究主要集中在学习者对语言反馈的反应上。本研究探讨了一所大学EAP课堂上的二语学习者如何回应教师关于写作各方面的书面反馈，以及可能影响他们回应的因素。该研究使用了来自学生初稿和修改后的文本的数据，首先考察了9名学习者对反馈的吸收情况。然后，采用案例研究方法并使用回顾性访谈的数据，研究了三个学习者如何在他们的写作的不同维度上参与反馈。研究结果表明，学习者几乎接受了所有反馈建议，无论形式或重点如何。然而，学习者对反馈的参与程度有所不同。运用活动理论(AT)，我们通过参考情境和个体相关因素的相互作用来解释学习者对所收到的反馈的参与。我们的发现强调了学习者对反馈的反应行为的复杂性。
