Tóm tắt
This study explores the impact of the feedforward strategy on the enhancement of essay writing abilities. In contrast to conventional feedback correcting mistakes, feedforward emphasises the importance of offering constructive suggestions and guidance prior to or during the writing process. Limited information exists regarding the application of feedforward as a strategy that facilitates enhanced performance. This investigation employed an action research framework utilising a mixed-method approach to assess the influence of feedforward on the writing performance of English-majored students in writing IELTS Task 2 essays. Students who received feedforward support demonstrated notably enhanced writing quality. Insights from the semi-structured interviews revealed that participants held favourable views regarding the use of feedforward as a formative strategy. The findings indicate that the integration of feedforward techniques can significantly improve learners’ academic writing abilities while also fostering increased motivation and confidence in their writing endeavours.
