摘　　要：The role of written corrective feedback（CF） in the process of acquiring a second language（L2） has been an issue of considerable controversies over past decades. This study thus endeavors to extend current work on written CF by investigating and comparing the effect on collocation learning of one traditional type of feedback—direct corrective feedback（DCF）—with an innovative type of error correction, feedback provided within context—situated feedback（SF）. The effects of the two types of written feedback were measured by examining the accurate use of target collocations in a translation test and a multiple choice test completed by 73 intermediate EFL students in China. Three groups were formed： a DCF group, an SF group, and a control group. The study found that both treatment groups outperformed the control group in the posttests and delayed posttests and that there were significant advantages of the SF group in comparison to the DCF group in both posttests. The results suggested that the provision of written CF was helpful for collocation learning and that situational context could promote the facilitative role of written CF in language acquisition. These findings are discussed from the perspectives of both second language acquisition（SLA） theory and language pedagogy and implications for future research efforts are put forward.本文试从两个方面拓展当前有关书面纠错功效的研究:1)通过突破传统的形式反馈,比较了直接反馈与语境反馈(即在丰富语境下提供的反馈)对于二语习得的不同作用;2)通过转变传统的目标结构,考察了反馈对于英语搭配习得的影响。研究采用"前测—干预—后测—延迟后测"的设计模式,通过汉译英和选择两种测试方法来考察反馈的效果。实验结果表明,纠错可以有效促进英语搭配习得,而且语境越丰富,纠错效果越好。研究指出,纠错有利于学习者注意到中介语与目标语间的差距,从而有意识地学习正确语言形式以弥合差距。另外,纠错中的语境因素可以调动人的多层认知系统,加深学习者对搭配的理解和记忆,从而产生更好的促学效果。
