To date, few empirical studies have been designed to evaluate the effects of different types of feedback on error in the written work of second language writers. The study reported in this article contrasted four methods of providing feedback on written error. These methods differed in the degree of salience provided to the writer in the revision process. In the study, a factor analysis was used to reduce an initial set of 19 measures of writing skill to a subset of 7. Each of the 7 measures in the subset was then used as a dependent variable in an analysis of covariance design which contrasted the effects of the feedback methods on subsequent narrative compositions. Evidence against direct correction of error in written work is discussed.

... These claims, however, were discarded and considered as premature and incomplete by Ferris (1999) who stated that TCF can equip the learners with an input and boost the acquisition process especially in the EFL context where students do not receive much exposure outside the classroom. Many studies supported Ferris' (1999) from a different perspective, and proved the usefulness of teacher corrective feedback, (Chandler, 2003;Robb et al., 1986;Sheppard, 1992, Hyland, 2003, Hashemnezhad and Mohammadnejad, 2012, Sritrakarn, 2018, Harmer, 2012, Lyster and Ranta, 1997, Park, 2012, Octaviana, 2011, they all support the provision of TCF for the amelioration of students' writing performance, and advocate for more teacher intervention in the correction process. ...

... Although a number of articles and books have discussed the advantages of using journals (Davies, 2001;Fulwiler, 1987;Gutstein, Batterman, Harmatz-Levin, Kreeft, & Meloni, 1983;Holmes & Moulton, 1997;Kelen, 2001;Kreeft, 1984;Kresovich, 1988;Leki, 1985;Peyton, l990a;Peyton, l990b;Peyton & Reed, l990;Staton, 1987;Werderich, 2002), only a few researchers have investigated the question of improvement in journal writing over time (Barba, 1992;Casanave, 1993Casanave, , 1994Duppenthaler, 2002a;Kreeft, 1984), and even fewer have investigated the possibility of a transfer-of-skills effect from journal writing to other types of writing (see for example Abdel Fattah, 1993;Hirose & Sasaki, 2000;and Ross, Shortreed, & Robb, 1988). Do the gains, for example in fluency or accuracy, reported in journals carry over into other types of writing? ...
