This study investigates the effects of different teaching methods on learning Spanish as a second language. The focus is on how these methods impact learners when they receive feedback on their own mistakes (direct feedback) versus feedback on their classmates' mistakes (indirect feedback).

Participants will undergo procedures that involve receiving different types of feedback while learning two specific Spanish language structures. This will help researchers understand how different instructional conditions affect language acquisition.

  • Who can participate: Participants should be learners of Spanish at an intermediate proficiency level, equivalent to two semesters of college-level Spanish. They must be native English speakers and not heritage speakers of Spanish.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in activities where they receive feedback on language use.
