The Effect Of Written Corrective Feedback On Grammatical Accuracy

On 19 March 2014, Dr Shintani Natsuko, an Assistant Professor at the National Institute of Education (NIE), delivered a lecture titled 'The Effect of Synchronous and Asynchronous Written Corrective Feedback on Grammatical Accuracy in a Computer-Mediated Environment' to an audience comprising academics and students from the institutions of higher learning in Singapore. This session was part of a lecture series by SIM University's School of Arts and Social Sciences, Singapore Association for Applied Linguistics, and the English Language and Literature Department of NIE.

It was an insightful session as Dr Shintani shared findings from her study on Japanese learners of English at a university in Japan. One of her key findings revealed that immediate feedback is more effective than delayed feedback when learning a language in a computer-mediated environment.
