“…From the results, it is evident that students are positive about the use and efficacy of writing error correction symbols on their written drafts. The results of the quantitative data collected from 396 participants confirm previous research findings: (i) giving corrective feedback was practical and valuable (Hyland, 2003;Liu, 2008;Khadawardi, 2020;Al Harrasi, 2019;Bahrouni & Tuzlukova, 2019), (ii) indirect feedback using error correction symbols was more effective than other feedback methods (Jamalinesari, A., Rahimi, F., Gowhary, H., & Azizifar, A., (2015); Tago, 2021). The results not only align with earlier studies but also disproves the argument of Truscott (1999) that giving feedback was harmful.…”
