| The role of corrective feedback (CF) in the process of second language acquisition in general and writing in particular is a topic that is receiving a lot of research attention. Thus, this study explored female EFL teachers’ and learners’ attitudes toward patterns of CF. Thus, a set of questionnaires and a series of semi-structured interviews were run to measure learners’ and teachers’ attitudes toward CF. A total of 150 (50 learners in elementary level, 50 in intermediate level, and 50 in high-intermediate level Iranian EFL female learners) within the age range of 14-20 as well as 40 teachers in Iran Language Institute (ILI) in Urmia, Iran were considered as the participants. All the learners in all proficiency levels filled out a questionnaire adapted from Loewen et al. (2009) regarding their attitude toward CF. It includes 24 items designed on a 5-point Likert-scale. Moreover, a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 14 items in Likert scale was conducted among the teachers. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were run with both teachers and learners to complement the quantitative data at the end of the study. The results of teachers’ and learners’ attitudes questionnaires as well as semi-structured interview indicated that both teachers and learners had a positive attitude toward CF. The findings of the study had a number of theoretical and practical implications for practitioners and teachers and shed light on enhancing writing quality of the learners across proficiency. |
