The role of teachers’ corrective feedback in motivating the EFL learners in the classroom : the case of master I LMD students of english didactics at Bejaia University

Abstract

The present research aims at revealing whether corrective feedback influences positively or negatively EFL students’ motivation in the classroom. We hypothesized that if teachers use corrective feedback in a kind way, students become encouraged and motivated; however, if they use it in a negative/ offensive way, students become discouraged. The present research is based on a review of the literature related to the two variables of our research, which are corrective feedback and motivation
