Abstract

This paper reviews the history and development of errors made by EFL/ESL learners; and it also examines the effects of error feedback from teachers and researchers. Specifically, this paper focuses on the studies concerning the different types of corrective feedback which give rise to more or less quality improvement in written or oral output of language learners. The results show that the effects of error feedback are subject to a series of interrelated factors, including learners’ proficiency level, the nature of errors and the context of leaners’ language. It is hoped that the findings of this paper may contribute to a deeper understanding of the characteristics of errors and feedback for both language learners and researchers.
