Abstract
This paper aims to inform the design of feedback strategies in ITS for Foreign Language. We explore empirical evidence about effectiveness of feedback strategies used in an experimental study in which students interacted with a web-based tutoring program. Results suggest that an ITS for a foreign language should implement feedback which prompts students for answers with grammar errors.
This research is sponsored by the National Council for Scientific and Technological Research (FONDECYT, Chile) under grant number 1040500 “Effective Corrective-Feedback Strategies in Second Language Teaching with implications for Intelligent Tutorial Systems (ITS) for Foreign Languages (FL).”
