Abstract
This paper examines the nature of teacher’s corrective feedback as mediation in a Korean EFL beginner writing context. The theories of Vygotsky's socio-cultural learning in the zone of proximal development (ZPD) take into account the background of the study. In particular, socio-cultural interaction on mediational learning by Vygotsky will be main theoretical framework for the study. Four EFL beginner writers were participated in the study for the ZPD situation, which includes teacher-learner tutorial sessions for revision writing after composing a text in regular academic course. The results from the analysis of teacher-learner interactions reveals that teacher’s feedback functions as mediation for EFL beginner learners to co-construct their cognitive process within ZPD in terms of use of target-like linguistic features. This happens when it is provided on appropriate time depending on different individuals.
