Abstract

In the current study, we aimed to bridge the gaps in the scholarship of oral corrective feedback (OCF) in the intersections of andragogy and intercultural online English (supplementary) language education. Through qualitative content analysis of phone-based and video-based classes and multiple rounds of asynchronous email interviews, we looked into the oral corrective feedback strategies of Filipino online ESL teachers handling Korean EFL learners and Taiwanese learners, with a focus on the types (Lyster & Ranta, 1997, 2007), linguistic focus (Brown, 2016), and timing of OCF (Ellis, 2009). Findings revealed that immediate recasting was the most utilized strategy of the participants in dealing with phonological, grammatical, and lexical errors. We also documented other strategies, like reinforcement strategies (visual correction and repetition) and a combination of strategies, to be part of the roster of strategies employed by the L2 instructors. We will offer implications and recommendations for the field of EFL teaching in light of our findings.
