Implementation of Remedial Feedback and Observable Progression System in GFP English Writing

SPD committee of PSC UTAS-Ibri, organized a presentation by Dr. Hilal Al Shandhoudi and A.S.M. Shamim Miah on April 18, 2024. The presentation was on a research paper entitled “Implementation of Remedial Feedback and Observable Progression System in GFP English Writing”. The researchers said that their paper highlighted how much written corrective feedback (WCF) is effective in General Foundation Program (GFP). They did their research on experimental and control group setup involving 10 teachers and 100 GFP English students. Their research had a cognitive focus; it aimed at understanding how WCF can improve GFP English students. Their research classified WCF into three major categories: (i) Direct WCF (refers to finding faults); (ii) Indirect WCF (refers to finding errors and supplying the right forms); (iii) and Metalinguistic WCF (refers to offering more details about the type and source of the problem). Their research was designed to use a custom writing booklet with 10 topics (from the Pathways Level 3 Book), 4 genres (Process writing, Compare & Contrast Writing, Incident Report Writing, and Graph description). They used three drafts of each with pre-feedback, post feedback, and post-review-feedback. Before the session concluded, there was a Q/A session. At the end, the presenters were awarded with certificates.
