Issued Date: 7 Aug 2014
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of three forms of immediate feedback in a foreignlanguage computer-based tutorial. Fifty-six undergraduate students from theUniversity of Toledo were randomly assigned to four groups corresponding to fourversions of the tutorial (version with spoken feedback, version with written feedback,version with written/spoken feedback, version with no feedback). Each subject inhis/her respective group ran the tutorial on the Macintosh computer and received theappropriate feedback delivered by the computer. Three hypotheses were tested. Afterthe completion of the experiment, two post-tests (immediate and delayed) wereadministered. The first hypothesis was partially supported; the other two were rejected.The results of this study partly confirms some previous research findings. Furtherresearch should consider the language in which the feedback is provided and thesubjects' preferred feedback forms.
