Özet:

Negative feedback has important pedagogical implications. Teachers need to review scientific literature to find out some help for decision making the classroom. The aim of the present manuscript is to offer a review of key issues regarding error correction in the foreign language classroom for teacher trainees, foreign language teaching practitioners and researchers. It is a documental review based on iconic papers which have been considered cornerstone on the topic as well as some recently published research. Researchers have offered possible answers to those questions, but as not all teaching contexts and students are the same, error treatment choices also vary. The decision about when to correct is closely related to how to do it. Subjective variables (e.g., affective, cognitive) are expected to be considered when selecting specific NF. Lack of sound consistent empirical data shows the need for more research to clarify remaining issues on negative feedback.
