【 摘 要 】

Matching the expectations of teachers and learners is vital for successful learning. Fewstudies have investigated the effects of corrective feedback on Iranian EFL learners. Therefore, thisstudy aimed to bridge this gap. To this end, the sample of 180 male and female teachers, who taughtlanguage courses in an English Language Teaching program in language institutes in Zanjan, and350 learners, chosen through stratified random sampling, formed the participants of the study. Twostandard instruments were used in this study- PET Test and Fukuda’s (2004) FeedbackQuestionnaire. The findings suggest that learners believed that corrective feedback had a significanteffect on their writing but the teachers did not think so. It is concluded that most of the feedbackgiven by teachers were concentrated on grammatical errors and that the teachers’ views on feedbackare based on the context, which might origin from absence of sufficient teacher training. With this inmind, giving feedback, or rather the right kind of feedback should perhaps play a better role inteacher education. The fact that feedback is based on each context may be positive as learners aredifferent and teacher trainees might still take advantage from studying the provision of feedback.
