Abstract
Corrective feedback (CF) is provided to learners to rectify errors. In recent years, the study of CF in oral and written forms has attracted considerable attention in language acquisition studies. Some studies have comprehensively summarized the effects of CF through meta-analysis, but there are still some differences and limitations in CF meta-analysis, which need to be resurveyed. Based on the findings of a meta-analysis of five different types of CF, this study evaluates the procedures, ideas, and conclusions of the CF meta-analysis. The findings show that different types of CF effects have inconsistent and conflicting findings because of different data sources, variable collinearities, learner differences, and effect generation differences. Consequently, the research systematically discusses the publication bias, the influence of learner variables, the method of measurement for each type of effect, and the connotations of the meta-analysis results.
