This study replicates Bitchener and Knoch (2010), which reported that written corrective feedback (WCF) targeting two single-rule English article functions (first mention a and subsequent mention the) is effective. The current replication study repeats the original study in most respects but adds to the assessment of the intervention's efficacy by recording the impact of focused WCF on all functional article uses, and not just on the two uses targeted by the WCF. The results of the replication study partially confirm Bitchener & Knoch's results and introduce some further differentiated findings. It is concluded that while the focused WCF leads to increased accuracy in the targeted functions of articles, the same WCF may negatively impact the remaining non-targeted article functions, especially for the group that received the most explicit WCF in the form of metalinguistic explanation.

专注的书面纠正反馈和语言目标掌握：Bitchener 和 Knoch (2010) 的概念复制

这项研究复制了 Bitchener 和 Knoch (2010)，他们报告了针对两个单规则英语文章功能的书面纠正反馈 (WCF)（第一次提到一种以及随后的提及这） 是有效的。当前的复制研究在大多数方面重复了原始研究，但通过记录重点 WCF 对所有功能性物品使用的影响，而不仅仅是 WCF 针对的两种用途，增加了对干预效果的评估。复制研究的结果部分证实了 Bitchener & Knoch 的结果，并引入了一些进一步的差异化发现。得出的结论是，虽然聚焦 WCF 导致文章目标功能的准确性提高，但相同的 WCF 可能会对剩余的非目标文章功能产生负面影响，特别是对于以元语言解释的形式获得最明确 WCF 的组。
