Does type of modified output correspond to learner noticing of feedback? A closer look in face-to-face and computer-mediated task-based interaction
Abstract
This study examines if type of learner-modified output differentially demonstrates noticing and whether or not this relationship holds in both face-to-face (FTF) and synchronous computer-mediated chat (SCMC) environments. Twenty-four learners of Spanish as a foreign language interacted one-on-one with an interlocutor in the FTF and the SCMC modes, during which they received corrective feedback. After each interaction, learners participated in a mode-specific stimulated recall session to measure their noticing of feedback. Data were coded for (a) feedback episode, (b) type of modified output (none, partial, or full), and (c) accurate noticing. Binary logistic regressions indicated that after feedback, partial modified output was the greatest predictor of accurate noticing of feedback. This finding applied in both FTF and SCMC.

Some features of online language teaching platforms may even enhance the language learning process, such as more noticing of corrective feedback.
“In fact, some features of online language teaching platforms may even enhance the language learning process, such as more noticing of corrective feedback (e.g., Baralt, 2013;Gleason, 2013;Gurzynski-Weiss & Baralt, 2015;Sykes, 2005;Thomas & Reinders, 2012;Thorne, 2008; see also Loewen & Wolff, 2016).”

Gurzynski-Weiss & Baralt (2014) found no difference in learners' accurate perception of feedback in either FTF (68%) or SCMC (71%).

Learners were most accurate in their perception of lexical and semantic feedback regardless of modality.

There were considerable differences in the number of times learners had the opportunity to modify their output in the two modalities - 91% in FTF but only 53% in SCMC.

Gurzynski-Weiss & Baralt (2015) found that partial modified output most accurately predicted correct noticing in both FTF and SCMC contexts.

Gurzynski-Weiss & Baralt argue that full modified output is not conversationally appropriate in SCMC contexts and is more likely to be copied and pasted, which abnegates effects for deeper cognitive processing.
“Gurzynski-Weiss & Baralt argue that full modified output is not conversationally appropriate in SCMC contexts and often, if something is repeated in full, then it is more likely to be copied and pasted, which abnegates any effects for deeper cognitive processing.”

Gurzynski-Weiss & Baralt (2015) found that full modified output predicted accurate noticing only in FTF contexts.
“Full modified output also predicted accurate noticing, but only in FTF.”

“By demonstrating the connection between modified output and noticing, these studies are a first step at providing insight into the relationship between learner responses to feedback and noticing, both constructs believed to be important for SLA (e.g., Long, 1996; Robinson, 1995; Schmidt, 1990, 1995).”

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.
