We welcome you to the site of the 1st International Conference on Written Corrective Feedback in L1 and L2 (WCF23).

The WCF23 conference has four main goals: 

1. 1. To bridge the gap between research in corrective feedback and classroom practice

   2. To discuss similarities and differences in written corrective feedback in L1 and L2 contexts

   3. To discuss the connection between research in written corrective feedback and teacher training

   4. To disseminate research on written corrective feedback at all educational levels (compulsory and non-compulsory educational contexts)

The conference will take place in person at the Universitat de Vic-Universitat Central de Catalunya (Spain) on Friday April 14 and Saturday April 15, 2023. 

We invite researchers, teachers, and teacher trainers to submit proposals for 20-minute papers (followed by questions) on the following topics:

• • Written corrective feedback practices in the classroom

  • Teacher and student beliefs about written corrective feedback

  • Teacher training and written corrective feedback

  •  Written corrective feedback in elementary and secondary school contexts (in L1 or L2)

  •  Written corrective feedback at the university level (in L1 or L2)

  •  Research methodologies in studies of written corrective feedback

  •  Research evidence on written corrective feedback and its impact in the classroom

  •  Connections between written and oral corrective feedback

  •  Interactional written corrective feedback

  •  Online written corrective feedback

  • Collaborative written corrective feedback
