Corrective feedback plays a crucial role in the development of speaking skills for EFL learners, serving

to improve accuracy while maintaining fluency. The types and delivery of corrective feedback can

significantly impact learners' language acquisition and confidence in oral communication. Brown

(2004) emphasizes the importance of balancing error correction with positive reinforcement to create a

Various types of corrective feedback have been identified and studied in the context of language

learning. These include explicit correction, recasts, clarification requests, metalinguistic feedback,

elicitation, and repetition. Each type serves a specific purpose and may be effective depending on the

learner's proficiency level, the nature of the error, and the instructional context. For instance, Leong and

Ahmadi (2017) note that implicit feedback, such as recasts, can be particularly effective for more

Student perceptions of feedback also play a significant role in its effectiveness. Miskam and Saidalvi

(2018) highlight that learners' attitudes towards error correction can impact their willingness to

communicate and their overall language anxiety levels. Therefore, it's crucial for teachers to create a

positive feedback culture in the classroom, where errors are viewed as learning opportunities rather than

failures. Brandl (2020) recommends involving students in the feedback process through peer correction

The choice of feedback type should be tailored to individual learner needs and the specific learning

objectives. For instance, in task-based activities focused on fluency, Oradee (2013) suggests minimizing

interruptions and focusing on communicative effectiveness rather than grammatical accuracy.
