The use of a computer as a means and/or a source of feedback provision has facilitated the process of teaching and learning writing. The integration of computers into writing classes enabled teachers to provide timely and reliable feedback. Taking into account these opportunities that computers bring to the classroom, the present study attempted to investigate the efficacy of using computer-mediated teacher feedback and computer-generated feedback on learners’ writing skill. In addition, learners’ motivational level was explored. To do so, 60 intermediate EFL learners were selected from two intact classes and were randomly assigned to treatment groups. The results of paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test revealed a significant improvement in writing ability of the two groups from pretest to posttest. Only computer-mediated feedback significantly improved learners’ writing ability from posttest to delayed posttest. In addition, no significant difference was observed between the posttest scores of the two groups, while there was a significant difference between the delayed posttest score of the two groups. The result of interview indicated learners’ motivation in using computer-mediated feedback while there was disagreement in the other group concerning the motivation to use this approach. The study concluded that computers are a good medium for feedback provision. Furthermore, learners do not appreciate the role of computers as the source; rather, they accept it as a supplement to teacher feedback.

探索计算机介导的教师反馈对伊朗EFL学习者写作成绩的影响:动机重要吗?

使用计算机作为提供反馈的手段和/或来源已经促进了教学和学习写作的过程。将计算机集成到写作课中使教师能够提供及时而可靠的反馈。考虑到计算机带给课堂的这些机会,本研究试图调查使用计算机介导的教师反馈和计算机生成的关于学习者写作技能的反馈的功效。此外,还探索了学习者的动机水平。为此,从两个完整的类别中选择了60名中级EFL学习者,并将他们随机分配到治疗组中。配对样本t检验和独立样本t检验的结果表明,从前测到后测,两组的写作能力都有明显提高。从测试后到延迟的测试,只有计算机介导的反馈才能显着提高学习者的写作能力。此外,两组的后期测试成绩之间没有观察到显着差异,而两组的延迟的后期测试成绩之间也存在显着差异。访谈的结果表明学习者使用计算机介导的反馈的动机,而另一组在使用这种方法的动机上存在分歧。研究得出结论,计算机是提供反馈的良好媒介。此外,学习者并不欣赏计算机作为源的作用;相反,他们接受它作为教师反馈的补充。两组的后期测验分数之间没有观察到显着差异,而两组的延迟的测验分数之间存在显着差异。访谈的结果表明学习者使用计算机介导的反馈的动机,而另一组在使用这种方法的动机上存在分歧。研究得出结论,计算机是提供反馈的良好媒介。此外,学习者并不欣赏计算机作为源的作用;相反,他们接受它作为教师反馈的补充。两组的后期测验分数之间没有观察到显着差异,而两组的延迟的测验分数之间存在显着差异。访谈的结果表明学习者使用计算机介导的反馈的动机,而另一组在使用这种方法的动机上存在分歧。研究得出结论,计算机是提供反馈的良好媒介。此外,学习者并不欣赏计算机作为源的作用;相反,他们接受它作为教师反馈的补充。访谈的结果表明学习者使用计算机介导的反馈的动机,而另一组在使用这种方法的动机上存在分歧。研究得出结论,计算机是提供反馈的良好媒介。此外,学习者并不欣赏计算机作为源的作用;相反,他们接受它作为教师反馈的补充。访谈的结果表明学习者使用计算机介导的反馈的动机,而另一组在使用这种方法的动机上存在分歧。研究得出结论,计算机是提供反馈的良好媒介。此外,学习者并不欣赏计算机作为源的作用;相反,他们接受它作为教师反馈的补充。
