Abstract
In this chapter we explore how teachers in classrooms dedicated to Literacy Education and Second Language Learning for Adults (LESLLA) provide corrective feedback and how LESLLA learners respond to it. Corrective feedback is recognized as a highly effective method for facilitating second language acquisition. However, research suggests that LESLLA learners do not benefit equally from all feedback types. This study involved classroom observations in four LESLLA classrooms, with feedback sequences analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results revealed that implicit corrective feedback was the most commonly employed type, consistent with existing literature in tertiary-educated second language (L2) learners. Furthermore, our findings suggest that LESLLA learners rarely show uptake following implicit corrective feedback, indicating that explicit feedback types are more effective in supporting learning for this group of adult second language learners.
