Anthony Schmidt summarizes a recent article, “Can corrective feedback on second language speech perception errors affect production accuracy?” by A. H. Lee and R. Lyster, in a recent blog post. His conclusion: “The researchers noticed that both target and nontarget groups would verbally respond to [corrective feedback] by trying to produce the correct utterances. The target groups did this more often than the nontarget group, and the other three groups, by the nature of the CF type, did not engage in this behavior. Therefore, speech perception alone is important, but ‘opportunities for noticing, awareness, and practice, in addition to CF’ might be necessary (p. 18).”
