| description | The purpose of this study is to compare the possible differences between demotivated vs. motivated EFL learners preferences toward teachers oral error correction, including the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error correction. To this end, 141 Iranian EFL learners at the departments of foreign language in Zabol and Sistan and Baluchestan universities participated in this study. The learners preferences for error correction questionnaire, the demotivation questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations were used to collect the data. The results of independent sample t-tests indicated that there were no significant differences between the two groups regardless of their demotivation level toward oral error correction. The findings revealed five suggestions: firstly, errors should be corrected and sometimes to be corrected. Secondly, correcting errors after the student finishes speaking was the most appropriate time among the two groups. Thirdly, serious spoken errors that may cause problems in listeners understanding and frequent errors should be corrected more than other errors. Fourthly, elicitation and explicit feedback were the most popular methods of corrective feedback among the two groups. Finally, teachers were the most preferred person to deliver corrective feedback. Furthermore, the results of the observation data showed that what students received as error correction in oral classes were not in line with what students preferred to be corrected. Pedagogical implications for providing oral error correction have also been discussed. |
