In recent years there has been extensive research focusing on oral corrective feedback (OCF), a key aspect of English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL) learning mostly focused on the linguists’ and teachers’ perspective. On the other hand, very little has been done to know the learners’ perspective. The aim of this investigation was to gather...

... The study participants were requested to indicate which errors they believe should be corrected, including grammar, phonology, and vocabulary. The results evidence that in the first cohort all types of errors have a very similar value, indicating that they consider all types or errors as worthy of attention, similar to findings by Katayama (2007) that suggest EFL students wanted all errors to be corrected and aligned to several other empirical studies (Ferreiro-Santamaría, 2023;Gamlo, 2019;Mawarni & Murtafi'ah, 2023;Nhac, 2022;Rochma, 2023). In the second group, even though the appraisals are quite elevated in all three categories, there is a preponderance of correction of pronunciation errors, which aligns with Arumugam (2022), Saeli et al. (2024) and Stuckel (2022), who reported that intermediate-level students responded positively when asked whether they would like to receive correction for pronunciation-related errors. ...
This study investigated the preferences of college English as a Foreign Language learners regarding oral corrective feedback (OCF), an important component of language acquisition. The research followed a cross-sectional design with a qualitative approach. The study aimed to determine the overall perception of B1 level students about OCF, the types of errors they considered worthy of correction, and their preferences for types of oral correction. Findings were compared to the results of a previous study conducted by the researcher in 2023 with A1 learners. Data revealed that intermediate-level students, similar to beginners, have a very positive perception of the importance of OCF in language development. Further, the learners appreciated correcting all types of errors, with a higher emphasis on pronunciation-related ones. In both cohorts, the preferred type was explicit correction, while the least liked were indirect methods. These findings provide valuable insights for instructors and researchers in the field.
