This chapter examines the role of corrective feedback from a sociocultural perspective. Much of the theoretical argument for feedback and the role of negotiation has been within a cognitive or cognitive-interactionist approach. However, another theoretical framework for understanding the role of feedback comes from the Vygotskian sociocultural theory. This chapter begins with a discussion of this theoretical view, its underlying concepts, and their contributions to our understanding of the role of language, interaction, and the field of error correction. It then reviews corrective feedback research conducted within this framework. The studies reviewed include those that have examined various premises of the sociocultural theory as they relate to corrective feedback and also those that have compared feedback when conceptualized within a cognitive-interactionist perspective and feedback when conceptualized within a sociocultural perspective. The chapter concludes with implications of the issues discussed for effective corrective feedback practices in language classrooms.
