    Flores-Flores, Jael
    This study examines feedback provided by an English teacher to Chilean secondary student texts, in the context of writing short stories collaboratively in an English as a foreign language class. The study aimed to analyze students’ decisions about the teacher’s types of feedback on their short stories. For this investigation, and under the context of qualitative research, there were analyzed 6 consecutive drafts of the students’ short stories, of a public high school in Chile. This is a qualitative research with an action research design. The data collected was analyzed using Straub and Lunsford (1995) categories to describe the impact of the teacher’s written feedback on students’ decisions. In terms of students’ decisions, participant students adopted most of the teacher’s comments. The student’s texts evidenced progress, but still, regardless the feedback provided, they presented some grammatical and organizational issues.

    Written comments role in the thesis development from undergaduate students and supervisor teachers' perspective
    Diversos estudios han caracterizado la tesis como producto escrito. Sin embargo, es necesario avanzar en el conocimiento de cómo se gesta gradualmente dicho género académico. Con este propósito, en este artículo presentamos una investigación fenomenológica sobre el rol de los comentarios escritos en el proceso de elaboración de la tesis. El estudio se basó en entrevistas en profundidad a 5 directores de tesis y 6 estudiantes tesistas de carreras de Pedagogía pertenecientes a dos universidades de la ciudad de Concepción (Chile). El análisis revela que los comentarios del docente forman parte de un circuito de retroalimentación de carácter dialógico orientado a que el escrito de los estudiantes se ajuste al género tesis, lo que es valorado por todos los participantes.
