The Role of Oral Corrective Feedback Timing in SLA

Shijie Wang

Abstract


This article reviews current research on the effects of oral corrective feedback (CF) timing in second language acquisition (SLA). Through analysis of key empirical studies, it is found that while both immediate and delayed CF facilitate language development, immediate feedback generally yields stronger benefits, particularly in the acquisition of explicit knowledge. The paper highlights the limitations in existing research and suggests future directions.
