Corrective Feedback and Learner Uptake: Negotiation of Form in Communicative Classrooms.

Examined corrective feedback and learner response to feedback in four primary level immersion classes.

Findings reveal a strong tendency for teachers to use recasts despite the ineffectiveness of the technique in eliciting student-generated repair. (63 references) (Author/CK)
