Abstract

Abstract: The effectiveness was explored of three technological types on revision feedback of computer-mediated English writing—track correction， word treater， and mixed use of track correction and word treater. Starting from the time effect of grammar acquisition and choosing 64 university students， the functional mechanisms of three computer-mediated technological types on writing feedback were analyzed with 11 error types as research materials through 9-week eight writing tasks and three tests. The experiment results showed that the mean errors and mean feedbacks of student writings both decline and in the immediate test and delayed test the revision feedback is of significance， especially for the group adopting the mixed track correction and word treater. Therefore， the mixed use of track correction and word treater is likely to result in more precise and lasting grammatical accuracy in English writing.

Key words: revision feedback, English writing, peer review, track correction, word treater
