There is a growing body of literature that recognises the importance of corrective feedback (CF)
for second language acquisition (SLA). Recent investigations have compared different types of
feedback to establish the optimum way to foster language learning. However, to date the number
of studies analysing the effect of feedback on young learners is still very scarce. The present
research examines the relative effectiveness of different types of CF on young learners’ writing
performance. 48 students of English as a foreign language (EFL), aged 12-13, separated into three
parallel classes, received different types of feedback: direct CF, indirect CF and reformulation.
Quantitative measures of grammatical complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF) were drawn from
three comparable pieces of writing. The findings revealed that the indirect feedback group
obtained better results. This group, followed by the direct feedback group, improved in
complexity and fluency in the last task. They wrote longer and more complex texts. All three
groups obtained worse results for accuracy measures, with a lower number of error free clauses. [--]
