We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, to produce an 8-part mini series on the topic of Corrective Feedback. The series explores the area of corrective feedback through interviews with 8 scholars in the field. All interviews are conducted by students in Dr. Eva Kartchava's MA class at Carleton University as a means of assessment to connect researchers to their audience and have her students generate a greater level of understanding and investment in the research from the course. If you are interested in having a similar series produced for your class or institute, you can contact us: info@learnyourenglish.com

In episode 7 of our series on corrective feedback, Dr. Shaofeng Li joins us. Dr. Li is a prominent scholar and award-winning researcher of second language acquisition, with a focus on corrective feedback. He is currently an associate professor in the School of Teacher Education at Florida State University. Prior to this, he was a senior lecturer in the department of Applied Language Studies at Auckland University. He has an extensive list of published works on areas such as corrective feedback, task-based language teaching/learning, cognitive variables of second language learning, second language learner beliefs & motivations, and much more. More recently, Dr. Li has a number of upcoming published works focusing more specifically on associations between anxiety, working memory and corrective feedback timing.

In this episode, Dr. Li discusses:

learner and teacher beliefs on corrective feedback (CF)
how his own beliefs of CF have evolved over time
how teachers often view CF differently than learners and they impact that can have on learning gains
why teachers should take learner beliefs on CF into account
cognitive variables affecting CF
how CF fits into a Task-based Learning and Teaching (TBLT) model

*This interview was conducted by Abdi Mohamed and Neal Power.

Partnership with Carleton University:

Throughout the series, MA students from Dr. Kartchava's class will interview leading experts in the field of corrective feedback. We thank Dr. Kartchava for joining this episode and for spearheading this initiative.
