Online Feedback

In this study a comparison is made concerning the effect of online teacher feedback and online peer feedback on foreign language writing and the learners’ attitudes toward online feedbacks. To address the issues, an experiment is carried out between two university classes, who received online teacher feedback and online teacher feedback respectively. Based on the analysis, the major findings are obtained as follows. Firstly, the writing in each group has been improved significantly after the application of online feedback. However, no significant difference is shown between groups A and B. Secondly, students in both groups can incorporate feedback into their revisions, though there exist some differences in the number of successful revisions and kinds of revisions between the two groups. Finally, both online teacher feedback and online peer feedback are very well received by most students respectively. The research findings indicate that online feedback should be adopted in foreign language writing teaching.

A total of 70 students were assigned as the participants of the research. The students in the experimental group experienced having teacher and peer feedback provided through Schoology; meanwhile, the students in the control group experienced having conventional teacher feedback. The data were collected based on the students’ writing performance in pre-test and posttest as well as the results of questionnaire on the students’ perception towards the experimental condition. Then, data analysis was done step by step by comparing the pretest scores at the initial stage which was followed by comparing the posttest scores. The result of this research revealed that the students who experienced having teacher and peer feedback provided through Schoology did not perform better in writing than those who experienced having conventional teacher feedback. Keywords: teacher feedback, peer feedback, Schoology, students’ writing performance.

Writing is an essential skill for language production. However, many English as Foreign language learners (EFL) face many difficulties in writing. This study aims to shed light on the psychological aspect of writing; more specifically writing anxiety. Consequently, the main purpose of this exploratory mixed-method study is to explore and investigate the sources and manifestations of foreign language writing anxiety among Lebanese university students. The participants were Lebanese EFL university students (N=87). Data for this study was gathered from the use of the Second Language Writing anxiety scale(SLWAI), Sources of Writing Anxiety Inventory(SWAI), and semi-structured Focus group interviews (FG). Focus interviews with students were used to triangulate the derived data from the inventories. This study provides numerical data regarding the level of writing anxiety among students. The data from the FG interviews were transcribed and uploaded for thematic coding and further analysis. The results from this study shed light on the sources and manifestation of the writing anxiety among students. It also helps to disseminate several practical recommendations for the alleviation of writing anxiety among students. It is assumed that the findings will address the perceived psychological needs of Lebanese EFL learners and provide grounds for further research.

This article is devoted to the problem of the development of writing competence in the process of foreign language teaching. The article refects the main directions of the language policy in the Republic Uzbekistan with reference to the fundamental normative documents in this area, describes the conditions for the successful language policy in the feld of foreign language education. The characteristic features of foreign language writing competence is presented. The concept of the term «approach» is analyzed by foreign scholars and the author focuses on the advantage of two modern approaches in teaching foreign language writing competence as Product approach and Process approach. A review of two modern approaches is presented by involving the points and claims of well-known foreign scholars. The article deals with the assessment criteria, the learning process and effective techniques that are used on the basis of product approach. It presents a typical model for process approach created by the English specialist C. Tribble. Carried out comparative analysis of two given approaches, leads to the conclusion that both product approach and process approach, despite of their advantages, are not perfect enough in teaching writing since both approaches were criticized by methodologists. As a result of the study, it is concluded that it is preferable to use a mixed approach, along with traditional ones to develop writing competence of students.
