As suggested before, negative feedback can also include implicit indications that an utterance is not well formed. Recasts, for instance, make a complete reformulation of a learner's ill-formed utterance and provide relevant information which is obligatory but is either missing or wrongly used in the learner's utterance. E.g. My dad works from Monday to Friday, as a recast of "My dad work from Monday to Friday").
Even though recasts a rethe mostfrequenttypeof corrective feedback used by language instructors, it has been proved that they are not completely effective in the classroom, that is, recasts have resulted in uptake much less frequently than any other type of feedback.
By uptake we understand the learner's response to the teacher correction and, at the same time, the attempt made by the learner tore formulate h/his ill-formed utterance and produce the correct one.
