TASK 1

-1- FEEDBACK TYPES

Student: Is your mother play the piano?

Explicit Correction: Does your mother play the piano?  [Immediately, no self-correction]

Recast: Yes, does her mother play the piano? [As in a conversation] Metalinguistic feedback: Remember simple present tense. We use something else for verbs. Not “is”! [Self-correction]

Clarification Request: Pardon me! Can you say that again? [Selfcorrection if possible]

Elicitation: So, you say,” … your mother play the piano?”  [Gap filling activity in the sentence for self-correction] 

Body Language: Teacher knits his eyebrows. He shows that there is a problem in the sentence. [Asking for self-correction]

Giving Options: Is or does? [Self-correction]

Explicit correction with Metalinguistic Feedback: You should say “Does your mother play the piano?” Because when we use verb, we use “does” not “is”.
