Written Feedback on English SV Agreement Errors #566

This study showed that written feedback was effective for the narrowly defined subject-verb agreement errors involving copula be or lexical verbs. On the other hand, written feedback was ineffective for the broadly defined subject-verb agreement errors involving both copula be and lexical verbs. The present study suggests that written feedback should be effective when subject-verb agreement errors are narrowly defined. Implications for the present study for the written corrective feedback research community are discussed.
