Abstract

Corrective feedback has been of great importance in foreign language acquisition since it helps improve oral production, especially when it is given individually to accommodate learners’ various abilities and needs. In this pandemic context, the form of individual corrective feedback has shifted into online ones. Therefore, this study aimed to explore EFL learners’ beliefs regarding online individual corrective feedback (hence OICF) in an online speaking club context. This is a case study implementing qualitative research through interviews with five selected participants. Observation and document analysis were also conducted as means of data collection. The data were analyzed through theme analysis. The finding shows that in terms of the OICF concept, the learners believe that OICF accommodates individuals’ needs, helps them assess themselves, enriches their knowledge, and helps them build confidence. Concerning learning, they perceive that OICF increases their motivation, raises their language awareness, helps them build automaticity, and helps them make measurable progress. Regarding its practice, the learners believe that: 1) the practice helped them get connected; 2) the use of WhatsApp made them feel at ease; 3) their self-willingness supported the practice; 4) reasonable challenges maintained their interest, and 5) the availability of visual aids as needed. The contents of OICF were in the form of three: word pronunciation, word stress, and intonation. The study implies that it is important for language instructors to provide individual corrective feedback both in online and offline learning contexts in addition to general feedback given to learners.
