Abstract EN
This study investigated the immediate and delayed effects of error correction on the accuracy improvement of intermediate EFL learners' writing.
Through TOEFL test, the researcher selected 3 intact intermediate classes and assigned them into peer correction, self-correction and teacher correction groups.
Before the main treatment, all participants were requested to write a composition on a topic, which served the purpose of pre-test.
After writing the composition, the first group (peer), including two learners in each group, corrected the errors underlined by the teacher together.
The learners in the second group, namely, self-correction, corrected the errors underlined by teacher individually and the third group received the correct forms written by the teacher on top of the errors.
All the groups wrote 6 compositions on the topics during 6 sessions.
The first topic served the purpose of immediate pre-test.
This procedure was followed for 6 weeks and the 6th composition was regarded as immediate post-test and after a month (12th week), delayed post-test was conducted for all learners.
The findings of ANOVA indicated that both peer correction and self correction were influential in enhancing learners' writing accuracy; however, the group doing peer correction outperformed the self-correction one.
