چکیده

اثربخشی بازخورد اصلاحی نوشتاری به‌ویژه در قالب بازخورد فرازبانی، برای بهبود دقت دستوری زبان‌آموزان انگلیسی به‌عنوان یک زبان خارجی در سطوح پایین و متوسط، نسبتاً کمتر مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. مطالعه حاضر با بررسی و مقایسه تأثیر بازخورد فرازبانی عمومی در مقابل فردی، بر دقت دستوری زبان‌آموزان در نوشتار به این شکاف می‌پردازد. در مجموع ۸۵ زبان‌آموز در سطح پایین متوسط ​​در این مطالعه شرکت کردند که به سه گروه تقسیم شدند: دو گروه آزمایشی (دریافت‌ بازخورد فرازبانی عمومی یا فردی) و یک گروه کنترل (عدم دریافت بازخورد اصلاحی نوشتاری). اثربخشی آزمایش با استفاده از پیش‌آزمون، پس‌آزمون فوری و پس‌آزمون با تأخیر ارزیابی شد. داده‌ها با استفاده از آنالیز واریانس دوطرفه با اندازه‌گیری‌های مکرر و مجموعه‌ای از آنالیز واریانس‌ها با مقایسه‌های پس‌آزمون تجزیه‌وتحلیل شدند. نتایج نشان داد که هر دو نوع بازخورد اصلاحی نوشتاری فرازبانی در کوتاه‌مدت به‌طور قابل توجهی دقت دستوری زبان‌آموزان را بهبود ‌بخشیدند. بااین‌حال، بازخورد اصلاحی فرازبانی عمومی در مقایسه با بازخورد اصلاحی فرازبانی فردی، پیشرفت‌های پایدارتری را در دقت دستوری در درازمدت ایجاد کرد. این یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که بازخورد فرازبانی عمومی یک رویکرد مؤثر و کارآمد برای افزایش دقت دستوری در محیط‌هایی است که انگلیسی به‌عنوان یک زبان خارجی کار می‌شود و همچنین یک راه‌حل عملی برای معلمانی ارائه می‌دهد که به‌دنبال بهینه‌سازی شیوه‌های بازخورد خود در عین تلاش برای رشد زبانی زبان‌آموزان هستند.

چکیده [English]

The effectiveness of written corrective feedback (CF), particularly in the form of metalinguistic explanations (ME), for improving the grammatical accuracy of low-intermediate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners has been relatively underexplored. The present study addresses this gap by investigating and comparing the impact of generic versus individualized metalinguistic explanations on EFL learners' grammatical accuracy in writing. A total of 85 low-intermediate EFL learners participated in the study, divided into three groups: two experimental groups (receiving either generic or individualized ME) and a control group (receiving no written CF). The effectiveness of the interventions was assessed using a pre-test, immediate post-test, and delayed post-test. Data were analyzed using a two-way repeated measures ANOVA and a series of ANOVAs with post hoc comparisons. The results indicated that both types of ME significantly improved learners' grammatical accuracy in the short term. However, generic ME produced more sustained improvements in grammatical accuracy over the long term compared to individualized ME. These findings suggest that generic metalinguistic feedback is an effective and efficient strategy for enhancing grammatical accuracy in EFL contexts, offering a practical solution for teachers seeking to optimize their feedback practices while supporting learners’ linguistic development.
