The Accuracy Of Computer-Assisted Feedback And Students’ Responses To It, Elizabeth Lavolette, Charlene Polio, Jimin Kahng
Language Resource Center
Various researchers in second language acquisition have argued for the effectiveness of immediate rather than delayed feedback.

The results showed no significant improvement in the experimental picture condition compared to the control group across three tests; possible reasons are discussed. However, the study shows that ELL …
