Giving corrective oral feedback in a bilingual context. In what ways can oral corrective feedback on language mistakes be made more effective within the lessons of the bilingual education department?

Abstract

Looking at the conclusions of the vast amount of research that has been done on giving feedback in class, one can agree that teacher feedback is an essential aspect of effective language learning within bilingual education. However, many subject teachers struggle with finding the best way of assisting learners with their language learning besides teaching their subject content. The aim of this article is to emphasize the importance and complexity of giving effective oral feedback in a bilingual setting as well as providing practical ways in which teachers can improve their corrective oral feedback skills within content and language integrated lessons.
