This study explored student errors, teachers' oral CF, learner uptake and repair, and learners' CF preferences in a Chinese language classroom setting. The results showed that the two most frequently made errors were phonological and lexical and that recasts were the most frequently used CF type. Also, this study found a statistical significance between CF type and learner repair in the beginner class. In addition, the majority of the beginner participants preferred recasts while the advanced participants had preferences more scattered among different CF types. The participants' CF preferences were influenced by their learning styles and beliefs, their proficiency levels, the nature of the Chinese language, and the differences between Chinese and their native language, English.
