About this book

This edited book uses case studies to offer a comprehensive picture of the feedback practices and perceptions pertinent to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing in the Arab world. It highlights essential themes about feedback in L2 writing in eight Arab countries, and offers a detailed critical analysis of feedback practices and perceptions in six of these: Egypt, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. The book will appeal to an international readership of academics, researchers and practitioners interested in EFL writing in the Arab world.

Reviews

“This book offers a number of insights on perceptions about feedback and feedback practices. … the studies were presented in easy to digest language, therefore, it scaffolded a novice researcher in EFL … . Overall, to us, the readers living outside the Arab worlds, the contributors and the editors of the book have accomplished an excellent job. This book is a highly recommended reference for teachers and researchers in EFL … .” (Astri Hapsari, Fahmi Gunawan and Hazhira Qudsyi, Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, September 1, 2021) “This edited book is a great addition to ELT research on feedback in L2 English writing in the Arab World. It is a must read for researchers investigating perceptions and practices of writing feedback.” (Sabhi Hidri, Founder of Tunisia TESOL, Faculty of Human and Social Sciences, University of Tunis, Tunisia)
