Abstract The current study aims to explore the development of research on feedback scope in written corrective feedback (WCF), identify unresolved issues concerning feedback scope, and offer recommendations for further research in this domain. To achieve these purposes, we synthesize a total of 59 relevant articles and examine the salient findings on four dimensions: (1) effectiveness of comprehensive WCF; (2) effectiveness of focused WCF; (3) relative effectiveness of focused and unfocused/comprehensive WCF; and (4) student and teacher beliefs and attitudes about comprehensive and focused WCF. Next, we investigate the unresolved issues by identifying some under-explored topics including the comparison of comprehensive and focused WCF, the combination of comprehensive and focused WCF, and individual and contextual factors in feedback scope. Methodological gaps in existing research are considered, such as an imbalance in research methodologies and research methods. Drawing upon findings of the review, we offer a number of recommendations for further work on feedback scope in WCF. The present review can add valuable information to previous syntheses that focused on quantitative research, augmenting existing WCF scholarship by zeroing in research on feedback scope that employs not only quantitative but also qualitative and mixed-methods approaches.

书面纠正反馈中的反馈范围：二语情境中的实证研究分析

摘要 本研究旨在探索书面纠正性反馈（WCF）中反馈范围研究的发展，找出有关反馈范围的未解决问题，并为该领域的进一步研究提供建议。为了实现这些目的，我们综合了总共 59 篇相关文章，并从四个维度检查了突出发现：（1）综合 WCF 的有效性；(2) 重点 WCF 的有效性；(3) 重点和非重点/综合 WCF 的相对有效性；(4) 学生和教师对综合性和重点性 WCF 的信念和态度。接下来，我们通过确定一些未充分探索的主题来调查未解决的问题，包括综合和重点 WCF 的比较、综合和重点 WCF 的组合以及反馈范围中的个体和上下文因素。考虑了现有研究中的方法论差距，例如研究方法论和研究方法的不平衡。根据审查结果，我们为 WCF 中反馈范围的进一步工作提供了一些建议。本综述可以为以前侧重于定量研究的综合添加有价值的信息，通过将反馈范围归零，不仅采用定量而且采用定性和混合方法的方法来增加现有的 WCF 奖学金。
