The Influence Of CET Teachers' Error Correction Methods On Students' Emotional Factors

Corrective feedback has always been an important part in the research of second language teaching.Research towards the effectiveness of corrective feedback is the most important among these sort of studies.However,research on how learners'emotional feelings was effected by teacher's correction methods was seldom brought up.At the same time,Chinese language program based on Middlebury-mode(e.g.CET Academic Program)has entered the field of teaching Chinese as a second language with its own teaching methods and ideas.Whether the corrective method adopted by these program is going to affect learners' emotion?Do learners have different attitude towards these corrective feedback methods?These are questions needs to be discussed.Guided by this two questions,the research adopted questionnaire,comparative analysis and interview as research methods and has collected data from 33 high-level Chinese learners,3 novice teachers and 2 experienced teachers,so as to figure out the relations between the two questions,come up with feasible suggestions to teachers and hope to provide more cases to this field.According to the research,learners' favorite corrective feedback method is grammar explanation correction method,direct correction on mistake method comes behind.Learners' least like methods are directive correction method,hint-free interruption method and mitigate directive correction method.Learners'don't have tendency or aversion towards segment directive correction method.Among six correction methods,directive correction method triggers learners'anxiety the most and hit-free interruption method comes next.Mitigate directive correction method will not cause learners'anxiety.The other 3 correction methods will only affect a small group of learners.On the aspect of attitude towards six corrective feedback methods,all teachers and learners agreed that as kind of soft correction,segment directive correction method and mitigate directive correction method is acceptable.As for direct correction on mistake method,teachers normally wouldn't pick this method because of it is too indirect while more than half of the learners find it acceptable because it expresses the trust of teachers.The Enlightenment of CET Academic Program corrective feedback research on international Chinese teaching is:teachers should fully consider learners'attitudes towards different error correction methods;Avoid "emotional illiterate"error correction behavior.
