What's inside

22 pages, page-by-page.

Most Spanish teachers default to recasts in oral and red-pen-everything in writing. Those are the two least effective moves in Lyster & Ranta's taxonomy. This pack is the alternative. The six corrective-feedback types with uptake data (recast 31%, elicitation 100%), the Truscott-vs-Bitchener debate framed honestly so you can defend focused written CF, Krashen's Monitor Hypothesis applied to when-to-correct decisions, a 4-question decision tree for in-the-moment correction choices, a weekly journal-corrections points system that fits inside 30 minutes per class period, seven ready-to-use correction sheets keyed to common Spanish errors (summer assignment, post-unit quiz, comparatives, imperfect tense, journal-level, harder journal-level, Spanish 2 corrige-los-errores input task), explicit guidance for heritage learners on what to fix (academic register) and what to validate (family register), the Ferris coded-self-correction protocol, structured peer-correction pairs, an analytic written-CF rubric for the journal cycle, and a year-long calendar for when CF should be heavy vs. when free production should win. Polished 22-page PDF plus editable Word + Slides scaffolds.

The research behind it

Why this works.

Lyster & Ranta 1997 (Corrective feedback and learner uptake)

The 6-type taxonomy with uptake data. Foundation for the decision tree.

Lyster, Saito & Sato 2013 (oral corrective feedback meta-analysis)

Medium effect on acquisition (d=0.49). Output-prompting outperforms input-providing.

Bitchener & Knoch 2010 (focused written CF)

Focused written CF produces transferable accuracy gains; revision is required for transfer.

Truscott 1996, 1999 (The case against grammar correction)

The honest counter-position. Cited even where the pack disagrees.

Krashen 1982 (Monitor Hypothesis)

Where Krashen's frame is decisive (during input) vs where it breaks down (during revision).

Ferris 2003 (Response to Student Writing)

Coded self-correction protocol; uptake comparable to direct teacher correction with less teacher time.

Beaudrie & Fairclough 2012 (Spanish as a Heritage Language)

The anti-over-correction principle for heritage learners; what to add vs what to validate.

Schmidt 1990 (Noticing Hypothesis)

Why corrige-los-errores beats traditional quiz format for error awareness.
