We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, to produce an 8-part mini series on the topic of Corrective Feedback. The series explores the area of corrective feedback through interviews with 8 scholars in the field. All interviews are conducted by students in Dr. Eva Kartchava's MA class at Carleton University as a means of assessment to connect researchers to their audience and have her students generate a greater level of understanding and investment in the research from the course. If you are interested in having a similar series produced for your class or institute, you can contact us: [email protected] 

In episode 7 of our series on corrective feedback, Dr. Shaofeng Li joins us. Dr. Li is a prominent scholar and award-winning researcher of second language acquisition, with a focus on corrective feedback. He is currently an associate professor in the School of Teacher Education at Florida State University. Prior to this, he was a senior lecturer in the department of Applied Language Studies at Auckland University. He has an extensive list of published works on areas such as corrective feedback, task-based language teaching/learning, cognitive variables of second language learning, second language learner beliefs & motivations, and much more. More recently, Dr. Li has a number of upcoming published works focusing more specifically on associations between anxiety, working memory and corrective feedback timing.

In this episode, Dr. Li discusses:

• learner and teacher beliefs on corrective feedback (CF)
