  • Shintani and Ellis's findings suggest that metalinguistic corrective feedback does not lead to greater improvement in writing than direct corrective feedback.

    “While the findings by Shintani and Ellis (2013) suggest that metalinguistic corrective feedback does not lead to greater improvement in writing than direct corrective feedback,”

  • Students who receive direct corrective feedback may just correct the isolated errors, without fully understanding the errors.

    “students who receive direct corrective feedback may just correct the isolated errors, without fully understanding the errors (Shintani & Ellis, 2013).”

  • Metalinguistic corrective feedback can lead to deeper learning since students must understand the grammatical rules in order to apply them in their own writing.

    “This can lead to deeper learning since students must understand the grammatical rules in order to apply them in their own writing (Shintani & Ellis, 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
