This study aimed at investigating the effects of three different types of error correction feedback on foreign language students. This study is conducted in the Department of Foreign Languages at TOBB ETU in three B level clasess and three different error correction techniques are used to mesaure the effectiveness of each one on general writing success of the students.
For this purpose, 68 preparatory school students at TOBB ETU participated the study. The data were collected through quantitative and qualitative data collection instruments. The pre-test and post test results as well as the grades of weekly regular writing assignments provided the quantitative data. The qualitative data came from the semi-structured students interviews.
The analysis of the quantitative data, especially the comparison of the pre-test and post-test, indicated that the students who received three different types of feedback didn& / #8217 / t score significantly different from each other. However, a close scrutiny of the analysis of the grades of weekly writing assignments give important insight about the usefulness of the coded type of feedback as the students getting that type of feedback outperformed the others in most of the weeks.
The analysis of the semi-structured interviews has shown that the students prefer more salient corrective types of feedback
