• Corrective Feedback in L2 Writing: Theoretical Perspectives, Empirical Insights, and Future Directions (2010, background): “…indirect CF methodologies might be determined by intervening factors, such as a learner’s level of L2 proficiency or meta-linguistic awareness (e.g. Ferris, 2004; Hyland & Hyland, 2006), the type of error that is targeted (e.g. Ferris, 1999; 2002), the goal a teacher tries to achieve by providing…”
• The effect of error correction on learners' ability to write accurately (2007, methodology): “Ferris (2003, 2004) classified this experiment as a study of the differing effects of coded and uncoded feedback, or simply as uncontrolled.”
• Research into practice: Written corrective feedback (2012, unknown): “…about the usefulness of written corrective feedback (WCF) in helping L2 students improve their writing, initiated by Truscott (1996) and rebutted by Ferris (1999, 2004, 2006), and then followed up more recently by Bitchener (2008) and other researchers (e.g. Chandler 2004, 2009; Ellis et al.…”
• The Efficacy of Written Corrective Feedback in Improving L2 Written Accuracy: A Meta‐Analysis (2015, methodology): “For one thing, Truscott selected only published studies based on narrative reviews (Ferris, 1999, 2003, 2004; Truscott, 1996, 1999), whereas the present study included both published and unpublished studies.”
• The Effect of Different Types of Corrective Feedback on ESL Student Writing. (2005, background): “Thus, there is clearly a need for research that not only compares the effects of receiving corrective feedback and no corrective feedback but also examines the long-term effects of such treatments ( Ferris, 2002, 2004; Truscott, 1999).”
