Resumen
Artículo de publicación SCOPUS This research study aims to provide graders of an EFL reschooling program with individual
verbal feedback and analyze their behaviors and perceptions towards the intervention. This study
follows an action research design conducted during three sessions in which 28 secondary school
students had a dialogue with the teacher who commented on their pronunciation issues and provided
with strategies in order to help them deal successfully with pronunciation issues. A field note and a
semi-structured interview were used to collect data. The field note was used during the dialogue to
observe students’ behavior towards the feedback; the semi-structured interview was implemented
after the intervention in order to describe their perceptions towards the methodology and its effect
on their learning process. Thematic analysis was used to identify certain patterns of meanings; the
analysis showed findings leading to the conclusion that students felt more comfortable when facing
speaking activities because of the practice and repetition during the individual verbal feedback
stage. Future studies could include peer feedback, because this verbal feedback may be enhanced if
students work in pairs. This type of strategy may favor discussion and clarification of doubts.
