The Inspirations of LIFT on Marking of EFL Writing in Chinese Secondary Classrooms

What constitutes the most effective marking of EFL learners’ writing in secondary schools is still the focus of EFL teachers. Traditional feedback is not as successful as it is expected to be because students haven’t concerned themselves with the teacher’s comments too much.LIFT(Learner Initiated Feedback Technique), as a creative means of enhancing marking, has been tested and adopted in foreign language teaching. Through the introduction of current conditions of marking of EFL writing, selfcorrection, peer-marking and feedback workshop in EFL secondary classrooms are proposed in light of the theory of LIFT.
