1 Online feedback on student compositions: Overcoming the limitations of traditional feedback Innovative Language Teaching and Learning at University: Enhancing the Learning Experience of Modern Languages through Feedback Bristol University, School of Modern Languages, 25 May 2012 Dr Michael Märlein

2 Michael Märlein2 Should feedback be given? Truscott (1996, 1999, 2007) Semke (1984) Kepner (1991) Sheppard (1992) Ferris (1999, 2004, 2006) Ferris & Roberts (2001) Lee (1997, 2004) Chandler (2003) Bitchener (2008) NoYes

3 Michael Märlein3 What type of feedback? Direct feedback

4 Michael Märlein4 What type of feedback? Indirect coded feedback

5 Michael Märlein5 Error codes Size of the code system (e.g. Cohen & Cavalcanti 1990, Lee 2004) Code labels (e.g. Lee 1997)

6 Michael Märlein6 MThe verb has been placed in the wrong mood; usually subjunctive will need to be replaced by the indicative or vice versa. (Lalande 1982, p. 148) Code labels

7 Michael Märlein7 UNUNMÖGLICH! No such word or construction exists in German. (Lalande 1982, p. 148) Code labels mFmorphologischer Fehler (Kleppin 1997, p. 144)

8 Michael Märlein8 Error codes Size of the code system (e.g. Cohen & Cavalcanti 1990, Lee 2004) Code labels (e.g. Lee 1997) Support for self-correction (e.g. Conrad & Goldstein 1999, Ferris 1995)

9 Michael Märlein9 New code system spelling ending form wrong word position missing word unnecessary word

10 Michael Märlein10 The feedback dilemma Comprehensive feedback expected (e.g. Lee 2004) Selective feedback most suitable (e.g. Ferris 1999)

11 Michael Märlein11 The feedback dilemma Support for self-correction (e.g. Ferris 1995) Guided self-correction process

12 Michael Märlein12 New feedback tool tool presentation

13 Michael Märlein13 I liked seeing only the errors of one category (critical, major, medium, minor) at a time. The feedback/correction hint provided for each marked error made it easier for me to self-correct the error. This type of feedback helped me more to improve my writing than traditional feedback I received before. The online feedback was easy to use. Student evaluation results strongly agree agreedisagree strongly disagree n=14
