IntroductionIntroduction

Definition of Corrective Feedback:

Learners can receive feedback and

opportunities to make use of that feedback by

modifying their output.

Research Questions Research Questions

1. What is the relationship between pre-task

planning and task-based linguistic

production?

Giving more pre-task time will be more benefit to

task- based linguistic production.

7

Research Questions 2. Are there any significances of influence for

fluency, accuracy and complexity under 0 min, 2 mins and 5 mins of planning time?

8

For fluency, there are a few differences under 0 min, 2 mins and 5 mins.

For accuracy, students speak accurately when giving moretime to plan.

For complexity, students can use more complex sentenceswhen giving more time to plan.
