The current study aimed at finding the effect of two different types of feedback (evaluative and formative) on students writing performance. This study has been conducted with 60 pre-intermediate English students who were selected by a placement test (first writing draft). The participants were divided into three groups of 20 students. Group one received direct (Evaluative) written corrective feedback; group two on the other hand received indirect (formative) type of feedback; group three received no feedback. Each participant completed four 120 word writing tasks during the 10 week period. Results showed that regardless of the type of linguistic error, groups that received formative and evaluative feedback were more successful than group that received no feedback, However the result of the present study confirmed that both evaluative and formative feedback were effective but the result also revealed that evaluative feedback follows more regular pattern of improvement and conclude that although formative feedback, based on its nature, raise the level of awareness among student writers, it may also cause confusion, on the other hand Iranian low proficiency student writers prefer the clarity of evaluative feedback which directly addresses their errors. |
