This project investigated the relative effects of immediate and delayed feedback on the acquisition of Spanish gender agreement using a pretest/posttest randomized experimental design.

Feedback timing and the acquisition of Spanish vocabulary in synrhonous computer-mediated communication

Investigators: Carly Henderson

This study examined the effect of immediate versus delayed corrective feedback on the acquisition of Spanish vocabulary in a synchronous computer-mediated interactive task. Learners’ feedback perceptions and preferences are also investigated.

The interaction between inhibition and feedback timing in the acquisition of Spanish gender agreement

Investigators: Yucel Yilmaz, Aysegul Sagdic

This study investigated the role of feedback timing and inhibitory control on L2 learners' ability to learn from reformulations provided on Spanish gender agreement in an interactive SCMC task.

Language aptitude profiles and the effectiveness of instruction in Second Language Acquisition: One size does not fit all

Investigators: Yucel Yilmaz, Gisela Granena

In this project funded by the Spencer Foundations, the co-PIs, Gisela Granena and Yucel Yilmaz, examined the relative effectiveness of two instructional interventions (explicit and implicit oral corrective feedback) as a function of different language aptitude profiles that combine cognitive aptitudes for implicit and explicit learning.
