PhD Candidate Kelsey Ulrich-Verslycken has a new article published in a special issue of TESL Canada Journal titled “It’s not just grammar: A teacher’s introspection on corrective feedback.”
This paper, co-authored with Professor Eva Kartchava, explores how teacher participation in training programs may challenge their preconceptions of their practice, encourage them to try new approaches and strategies, and help teachers shape their practice within their context.
“This article presents a seasoned ESL teacher’s self-observation account of how her oral corrective feedback (CF) beliefs and practices evolved over a 20-week period of participation in a CF professional development course alongside regular reflective journal writing. Results showed changes in how the teacher adjusted her lesson plans to promote specific CF types and increase the saliency of the feedback she provided but solidification of the type and target type (i.e., a propensity for recasts and grammatical corrections), amount, and timing of her CF provision.”
