Investigating Teachers' Oral Corrective Feedback and Students' Uptake in Grade 6 Bhutanese Primary Classrooms

Oral corrective feedback (OCF) plays an important role in language teaching and learning, but little research has examined Bhutanese teachers' practices of OCF on students' speaking performance and uptake. This paper reports on a mixed-method approach to investigate the rate of students' uptake on teachers' OCF within an ESL setting in Bhutanese grade six primary classrooms. Convenience sampling was applied to gather data from observations of two teachers and fifty-seven students in a primary school. The results of content analysis from classroom observations indicate that the teachers used four types of OCF: explicit correction, recast, metalinguistic feedback, and repetition, with recast being the highest used. The results showed a high degree of student participation, which resulted in error correction following the teachers' OCF. It is suggested that different classes be studied to see if there are differences in the effects of OCF on students.
