چکیده:
This study explored corrective feedback (CF) types and their relationship to L2 learners’ intelligence types. Participants were 60 intermediate L2 learners aged 18-29 in Isfahan، Iran. Based on their intelligence types as intrapersonal and interpersonal، the participants were divided into 2 groups. McKenzie’s MI Inventory (1999) and a researcher-designed questionnaire on CF types were employed. Spearman correlation was applied to find out the relationship between the participants’ intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences and their preferred CF. Then، multiple regression analysis was run to indicate the significant representation of the specific CF among the participants. Results revealed that there was a strong positive relationship between the participants’ intrapersonal intelligence and explicit types of CF. Regression computations indicated that the interpersonal participants showed a great significant tendency towards repetition، paralinguistic signs، clarification requests، and translation; however، conversational and didactic recasts as well as elicitation، explicit، and metalinguistic CF made a unique and significant contribution to the intrapersonal participants. Accordingly، L2 teachers should take into account their learners’ preferred CF types in their teaching and، consequently، suggest activities designed to help them make maximum use of their intelligence types. L2 teachers could also adapt their classroom activities to their learners’ intelligences and CF types to create the most productive learning environment.

Exploring Different Oral Corrective Feedback Preferences: Role of lntrapersonal and Interpersonal Intelligences Mahmood Hashemian, 1 Azizullah Mirzaei, 2 & Helena Mostaghasi' 'Corresponding author, Shahrekord University, m72h@hotmail.
Regression computations indicated that the interpersonal participants showed a great significant tendency towards repetition, paralinguistic signs, clarification requests, and translation; however, conversational and didactic recasts as well as elicitation, explicit, and metalinguistic CF made a unique and significant contribution to the intrapersonal participants.
In spite of the growing number of studies investigating the relationship between MI and L2 learners' preferred CF types, especially in their writing ability, communication strategies, and L2 learning strategies, less research, to the best of our current knowledge, is reported to explore the relationship between certain types of intelligences and different explicit and implicit CF types preferred by L2 learners.
Thus, to bridge the gap, this study was an attempt to find the (possible) relationship between L2 learners' preferred CF types and their interpersonal and/or intrapersonal intelligences in their speaking ability.
4. Results To address the first and second research questions considering the potential relationship between intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences and the two main subcategories of implicit and explicit CF types, Spearman correlation was computed and the results are presented in Table 3: Table 3.
Thus, it can be inferred that as the scores of the MI test for the intrapersonal participants increased, their tendency towards the explicit CF types augmented; however, a reverse relationship was observed for the participants with interpersonal intelligence (see Table 4): Exploring Different Oral Corrective Feedback ...
