Corrective Feedback 5: Exploring the Discourse with Dr. María del Pilar García Mayo
About this episode
We're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, to produce an 8-part mini series on the topic of Corrective Feedback. The series explores the area of corrective feedback through interviews with 8 scholars in the field. All interviews are conducted by students in Dr. Eva Kartchava's MA class at Carleton University as a means of assessment to connect researchers to their audience and have her students generate a greater level of understanding and investment in the research from the course. If you are interested in having a similar series produced for your class or institute, you can contact us: [email protected]
This is episode 5 in our series, featuring Dr. María del Pilar García Mayo. Dr. Maria del Pilar Garcia Mayo is the director of the research group Language in speech - a multidisciplinary group at the University of the Basque country in Spain. The group focuses on the acquisition of English as a foreign language. Dr. Mayo has a PhD in linguistics from the University of Iowa and is the director of the MA program Language Acquisition in MultiLingual Settings as well as the head of the department of English and German studies at the university of the Basque Country. Her publications span the area of second and third language acquisition of English, morphosyntax, and the study of conversational interaction in EFL. She is also the editor of journal Language Teaching Research.
In this episode, Dr. García Mayo discusses:
-
the Spanish EFL context

recent studies revolving around language learning and the high school context in Spain
-
the arguments for and against self-repair, recast, and implicit & explicit feedback
-
why there is such a research gap with children
