Book review:
Gameful Second and Foreign Language Teaching and Learning: Theory, Research, and Practice. Jonathon Reinhardt (2019). Tucson (the USA):Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN 978-3-030-04729-0 (eBook), pages XIX-311
Going beyond the heated discussion about the necessity of feedback on writing, the aims of the study were twofold; to investigate students’ and English instructors’ beliefs about feedback on writing and examine whether there is a match or mismatch between them. In the light of the questionnaire data, the study revealed that there are both matches and mismatches between English instructors’ and students’ beliefs about error correction and feedback practices on writing. The study suggests some useful implications for teacher education programs and educational institutions.
Keywords: English as a foreign language teaching; feedback; practices on writing; students’ perceptions; teacher preferences.
The article is devoted to the problem of correcting mistakes in a foreign language teaching at a nonlinguistic university. The article examines various points of view on the problem of error correction, and also on the basis of the analysis of the methodological experience of teachers of the Far Eastern State Transport University, the most effective correction methods are identified, which are based on the student's incentive to acknowledge the error and correct it independently.
