Effects of Error Feedback with Metacognitive Reflection on International Students’ Academic Writing
Li-Mei Chen and Chunlei Liu
Abstract—This paper investigates effects of the metacognitive
reflection as a feedback dialogue on international students’
academic writing. The metacognitive reflection, a process that
goes beyond the cognitive process, involves the students to
oversee their writing development through the learning process
with their instructor. Data from a case study of a group of
international students over a period of 16 weeks are used to
detect the effects of this method on international students’
academic writing. The result of this study is expected to assist
second/foreign language (L2) educators to employ effective and
efficient pedagogy to help international students improve their
L2 writing in the academic setting.
Index Terms—Error feedback, L2 writing, metacognitive reflection.
