Abstract
Corrective feedback plays an essential part in the field of second language acquisition. There are a number of studies examining the impact of corrective feedback on oral conversation. This article examines the effects of corrective feedback recasts and elicitations on immediate repair in dyadic conversation of students who speak English as a second language. Two questions are to be answered in the study: 1) What effect do recasts and elicitations have on learning targeted forms during the interaction through immediate repair? 2) Is explicit form or implicit form of corrective feedback more effective in learning targetlike forms during interaction? The findings of the study show that recasts which outperformed other types of corrective feedback were more frequently used than elicitations and learners were more successful in repairing their utterances after receiving explicit form of feedback than implicit form. Regarding the second research question pertaining to forms of corrective feedback, this study suggests that explicit form of corrective feedback is more useful than implicit from.
