The analysis focuses on identifying patterns and themes related to positive corrective feedback, motivation, teachers' and learners' perception, and teaching learning experiences related to corrective feedback. The findings highlight the impact and effectiveness of corrective feedback as a motivational tool, as it fosters learners' engagement, self-reflection and contribution of the learning process.
