%X This article provides an overview of the contributions made to this special issue on feedback by the seven papers, examining how they reflect both the growing interest in different areas of research into feedback on writing and the continuing search by teachers for more effective feedback practices. Focusing first on the papers by Van Beuningen, Storch, Evans, Hartshorn and Allen, it discusses how these papers situate written corrective feedback research in the wider area of second language acquisition research and contribute to the debate in feedback research on research design issues. This is followed by an examination of the major findings of the four situated empirical studies by Bitchener, Ma, El-ebyary and Windeatt, and Martinez and Roca, which make up the second section. Echoing the authors of these papers, this article argues that we need more longitudinal naturalistic studies, adopting both cognitive and socio-cultural SLA frameworks to investigate the role of feedback and its impact on individual learners in more depth. Finally some pedagogic implications are discussed, including the need for feedback practices which facilitate students＊ abilities to self regulate and evaluate their performance, and the need to raise teachers＊ awareness of the different feedback sources and modes of delivery available to them. Este art赤culo ofrece una revisi車n de las siete aportaciones incluidas en este n迆mero especial sobre feedback, constatando c車mo reflejan tanto el creciente inter谷s por el tema en las distintas 芍reas de investigaci車n como la continua b迆squeda de t谷cnicas m芍s efectivas por parte del profesorado. Centr芍ndose en primer lugar en las contribuciones de Van Beuningen, Storch, Evans, Hartshorn y Allen, analiza c車mo estos art赤culos sit迆an la investigaci車n sobre feedback en la correcci車n de trabajos escritos dentro del 芍rea m芍s amplia de adquisici車n de segundas lenguas, contribuyendo al debate, dentro de la investigaci車n sobre feedback, en torno a aspectos de dise o de la investigaci車n. A continuaci車n se examinan los resultados principales de los cuatro estudios emp赤ricos realizados por Bitchener, Ma, El-ebyary & Windeatt, y Martinez & Roca de Larios, que conforman la segunda secci車n. Siguiendo a estos autores, el art赤culo aboga por la realizaci車n de m芍s estudios longitudinales de corte naturalista, que utilicen enfoques dentro del campo de la Adquisici車n de Segundas Lenguas tanto de car芍cter cognitivo como sociocultural, para investigar con m芍s profundidad el papel del feedback y su impacto en perfiles concretos de aprendices.
