Abstract: In the writing instruction in the EFL/ESL context, error correction is always something that baffles teachers. Literature review indicates that peer revision can be an alternative to teacher correction. But few study is done on how well students can perform the peer revision activity, and what is left for the teacher in the error
correction. This study aims at the exploration of the answer to these two questions through a tentative experiment, with the result that students can correct most of the errors quite well except word choice, collocation and some other global errors.
Key words: writing instruction; error correction; peer revision
1. Problem
In the writing instruction of college non-English majors, feedback on errors in the students’ composition is always something teachers feel troublesome because of the large population of students a teacher has to teach and the various errors or mistakes there are in students’ compositions. On the other hand, even if a teacher is conscientious enough to correct all the mistakes, will it be a positive way to help students learn? Talks with teachers and students illustrate the answer is almost negative. Most students just look at the marks teachers give and ignore the error corrections at all. Worst of all, if a student’s composition is full of red ink, he may be frustrated and his interest and confidence in leaning ma be destroyed. Thus, it is necessary for teachers to explore effective ways to facilitate students’ learning from errors, and meanwhile help them be able to avoid the above-mentioned troubles.
2. Literature Review
A review of the literature on error feedback reveals two major study areas: teachers’ correction (Hyland, 1990;Makino, 1993; Dheram, 1995; Perpignan, 2003) and peer editing (Keh, 1990; Mangelsdorf, 1992; Storch, 1998; De Guerrero & Villamil, 2000). The former, however, is often criticized as being “unspecific, incomprehensible,contradictory, inconsistent, inaccurate, meaningless to the student, vague, over-general, abstract, formulaic and idiosyncratic” (Zamel, 1985, cited in Rollinson, 2005). Robb et al (ibid, cited in Dheram) found that detailed feedback on surface errors was not more accurate than less detailed feedback on their respondents’ work. They also observed that “improvement was independent of type of feedback” (ibid: 93). Fathman and Whalley (1990, cited in Dheram) found that learners’ grammatical competence only improved when they received specific feedback on their grammar. Perpignan (2003) draws the disconcerting conclusion that teachers’ error feedback serves no useful purpose in the students’ learning improvement because of the lack of understanding between teachers and students.
The latter is becoming more and more popular nowadays as it “operates on a more informal level than teacher ZHENG Chun-xian, female, graduate student of Foreign Languages School, Zhejiang University, lecturer of Foreign Languages

请问写SCI论文需要基金号码吗?是否只有中标的课题才能投稿SCI论文?作者个人的科研资料是否可以写SCI论文?对SCI收录期刊投稿除了论文,投稿信外还需要那些官方证明材料? 管理员回复:投SCI文章与是否有基金号码无关,以及是不是基金课题无关。当然如果有的话,最好写上,这样对将来基金结题也有帮助。另外,个人的科研资料能否写成SCI论文,关键看内容质量和语言表达。第三个问题,SCI投稿时,需要遵循该杂志的投稿要求,包括正文,图表,cover letter等,如果接收或修回还有response letter或签名确认等流程。这些 我们公司均可以提供全流程的专业服务。当然,如果您自已熟练,也可以自行操作。
