Abstract
Error correction research has focused mostly on whether teachers should
correct errors in student writing and how they should go about it. Much less
has been done to ascertain L2 writing teachers' perceptions and practices as
well as students' beliefs and attitudes regarding error feedback. The present
investigation seeks to explore students' and teachers' preferences in a specific
sector of the EAP Australian context. Quantitative and qualitative data were
gathered using questionnaires. The findings of the study show a clear mismatch
between teachers' and students' beliefs on error correction.
