摘要：Finding the effects of Focused and Unfocused written corrective feedback is one of the commonest issues influencing the feedback methods currently in vogue. Broadly speaking, the way the instructors provide feedback is of great significance in terms of the improvement the students may make as a result of the supervision they are offered. This study tries to take a look at the major lines of research regarding the effects of focused and unfocused written corrective feedback as well as other studies which have focused on feedback provision in English as a foreign language context. The paper raises a number of questions the answers to which might pave the ground for further research on the nature of feedback and the potential effects they may have on the students’ improvement.
