This case study is about an adult Japanese learner’s second language learning through her teacher’s recasts in an EFL classroom in Japan.We first examined by videotaping the class how recastswere provided in the theme-basedEFL classroom.Then we investigated the relationship between the student’s awarenessof recast feedback and her L2 learning. Stimulatedrecallinterviewswere used to elicit the student’s awarenessof the feedback, and grammaticality judgement tests of the actual sentences uttered by the teacher and students in the classroomwere used for measuring learning. The findings suggest that recasting is a complex verbal behaviour influenced by the teaching environment, the interaction context, and the learner’s cognitive orientation. The effect of recasts is influenced not only by the linguistic elements (e.g. grammatical vs lexical) of the feedback,but alsoby paralinguisticelements and the learner’s autonomous utilisation of the learning opportunities provided by the feedback.
