题目：Methodological synthesis of research on the effectiveness of corrective feedback in L2 writing

1.  摘要

Despite an abundance of research on corrective feedback (CF) in L2 writing, answers to fundamental questions of whether and to what extent various types of CF can promote accuracy remain inconclusive. Reviewers have pointed to the methodological limitations and inconsistencies in the domain; nevertheless, such arguments are largely anecdotal rather than based on systematic inquiry of primary empirical studies. Driven by the gap, this methodological synthesis reviews the state-of-the-art research on the effectiveness of CF in L2 writing. Thirty-two published studies and twelve dissertations were retrieved and coded following meta-analytic procedures. Results revealed a number of methodological limitations such as (a) inadequate reporting of research context, methodology, and statistical analyses; (b) designs of low ecological validity (e.g., “one-shot” treatment and predominantly timed in-class writing tasks); (c) mixed kinds of feedback as treatment for a single group rendering it impossible to tease apart efficacy of an individual feedback method; and (d) a wide array of outcome accuracy measures, making it difficult to compare results across studies. We compare our findings with results in general L2 study meta-analytical research and offer suggestions to guide future written CF studies in the hopes of advancing methodological and reporting practices in the domain.

2.  Brief Introduction（为什么这个文章有趣？）

书面纠错性反馈（简称WCF）是近二十年二语写作领域的研究热点。学界针对WCF的有效性开展了许多实证研究。为了解该领域研究现状，进行系统性综述显得尤为必要。本文采用元分析统计手段（主要用于文献析取与编码）对WCF的研究方法与研究结果进行了综述。

3. Research Questions （研究问题）

1. What are the sampling features in WCF studies?

2. What are the methodological design features in WCFstudies?

3. What are the statistical procedures in WCF studies?

4. To what extent have data been reportedthoroughly in WCF studies?

5. How have WCF research changed over time?

4. Research method (研究方法）

采用元分析的统计方法。

分为：文献的识别与析取、编码和分析。

5. Comment （读后感）

1、本文采用元分析手段对WCF研究方法和研究结果两方面进行了综述，这与以往元分析研究多关注研究结果的效应量（effect size）不同，开拓了元分析的疆域。

2、本文主题的选取、编码有别于国内综述类文章大而全的风格，作者对主题的编码过程严谨、科学，且通过表格与文字呈现主题有利于读者全面、细致了解WCF的研究现状。

3、本文采用数据库搜索、固定期刊搜索以及人工搜索等多种方式选择文献，克服了单一搜索存在的弊端；此外，作者限定文献选取的标准有利于读者聚焦某一类型研究。

不足：

1、综述内容偏多、过细，读者很难整体上把握全局。

2、缺少对元分析的具体分析过程，不利于读者运用此统计方法。

2、研究结论与摘要不够对称，比如对研究结果综述的研究发现并未呈现在摘要中。
