“…However, these investigations did not cover SESR. A lowered L2 writing anxiety in peer feedback interventions has also been reported (e.g., Jahin, 2012), yet the reasons why anxiety decreased over time and the connection with SE have not been detailed.…”

Peer feedback has earned an increasingly noteworthy place in second language (L2) writing research. A pressing concern is that issues of motivation are not well understood, largely due to a lack of theory‐driven investigations. Centering on Bandura's self‐efficacy (SE) theory, this study examined the impact of peer feedback on L2 writing SE and the operating mechanisms underlying the theorized sources of SE in peer feedback practice. One hundred and ten Chinese undergraduate learners of English were assigned to peer feedback treatment groups (face‐to‐face and computer‐mediated discussions) or a comparison group. Questionnaire and interview data on writing SE and its sources and on perceived feedback usefulness were collected. The treatment groups reported more positive changes in writing SE, and perceived usefulness of giving (but not receiving) peer feedback enhanced writing SE directly and via a mediating system involving writing self‐regulatory efficacy and apprehension. Writing SE was also shaped through a dynamic interplay between receptive and productive mastery experiences, computer‐mediated exchanges, social comparisons, and achievement goal orientations.

“…One of the reasons why peer feedback has been recommended as an effective tool in EFL teaching and learning is that it gives the writers a genuine sense that their writings will reach authentic readers or audience, which motivates them to make more effort in their writing performance (Kamimura, 2006;Barnawi, 2010;Jahin, 2012).…”

“…It has been observed that the positive results verified in the peer feedback provision are attributed to the offering of preliminary training to the participants on how to promote feedback to their peers (Kamimura, 2006;Kurt & Atay, 2007;Barnawi, 2010;Jahin, 2012). This procedure intends not only to teach students what is relevant to comment and how to give suggestions actively, but also "[…] to develop mutual rapport as a pair" (Kamimura, 2006, p. 33).…”

“…receive pre-training instructions and be closely accompanied by their instructors during the whole process (Kamimura, 2006;Kurt & Atay, 2007;Barnawi, 2010;Jahin, 2012, Méndez & Cruz, 2012. Likewise, the authors recommend teachers should learn more about the strategies of offering effective and valuable feedback, as it is a key element in the students' subsequent uptake.…”

“…In the same perspective, empirical studies have demonstrated a vast amount of benefits of providing feedback, including raising students' level of motivation, responsibility and enabling collaborative skills (Kamimura, 2006;Barnawi, 2010;Istifci, 2011;Vurdien, 2012;Arslan, 2014), decreasing students' anxiety and writing apprehension (Kurt & Atay, 2007;Jahin, 2012;Seliem & Ahmed, 2009) and impacting students' subsequent language acquisition (Esteban & Larios, 2010;Milla & Mayo, 2013;Pishghadam, Meidani & Khajavy, 2015;Wang, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT. Feedback is one of the most significant tools on learning, teaching, developing autonomy, self-efficacy and achievement in the educational environment. Its importance is emphasized in articles, dissertations and theses; however, a very little number of them have been published recently. This article intends to verify in what perspective feedback has been examined, in what ways it has been revealed to be effective for students and teachers to reach their goals and identify possible gaps of study that need to be fulfilled in future researches. In order to carry out this investigation, this study examined articles, papers and theses published from 2006 to 2015 about feedback in courses of English as a foreign language (EFL), using ERIC database. Our findings were organized into six categories: corrective feedback in oral interaction; effects of peer feedback; feedback expectancy; teachers' conceptions of intelligence and their relations in offering feedback; the effect of different types of feedback strategies on written texts; the use of feedback through technology. The results indicate that feedback is a crucial tool in the educational process and it plays a central role in learning a foreign language. Further investigations concerning feedback are suggested.Keywords: EFL, feedback strategies, teaching and learning, education.Análise da produção científica sobre feedback no ensino de inglês como língua estrangeira na base de dados ERIC RESUMO. O feedback é uma das ferramentas mais influentes na aprendizagem, ensino, desenvolvimento da autonomia, autoeficácia e desempenho acadêmico. Apesar de ter a sua importância enfatizada por educadores, o que se observa é um número muito restrito de publicações recentemente. Este artigo objetiva verificar em que perspectiva o feedback tem sido estudado, de que forma a sua eficácia é demonstrada para que estudantes e professores alcancem os seus objetivos educacionais. Além disso pretendeu-se identificar possíveis lacunas de estudo e sugerir futuras pesquisas sobre o tema. Para tanto, foram analisados artigos e teses publicados entre 2006 e 2015 sobre o uso do feedback no ensino de inglês como língua estrangeira (EFL), utilizando o banco de dados ERIC. Os resultados foram organizados em seis categorias: o feedback por meio da tecnologia; as diferentes estratégias de feedback em textos escritos; o uso do feedback entre os pares; o feedback corretivo nas interações orais; a expectativa do uso do feedback; e as concepções dos professores acerca da inteligência e suas implicações no oferecimento do feedback. Os resultados revelam que o feedback é uma ferramenta indispensável no processo educativo e desempenha papel central na aprendizagem de uma língua estrangeira.Palavras-chave: EFL, estratégias de feedback, ensino e aprendizagem, educação.Análisis de la producción científica sobre feedback en la enseñanza de inglés como lengua extranjera en la base de datos ERIC RESUMEN.
