Résumé
La rétroaction corrective écrite (RCE) est un domaine qui suscite l’attention des chercheurs en langue seconde (L2), que ce soit sur le plan pédagogique ou théorique (Lira-Gonzales et Nassaji, 2020). Il existe un consensus sur ses bénéfices dans l’apprentissage d’une langue étrangère/L2, mais très peu de recherches ont examiné la manière dont les apprenants traitent les différents types de rétroaction. À partir d’une approche mixte, cet article examine la façon dont les apprenants du français langue étrangère (FLE) analysent cognitivement deux types de rétroaction corrective (RC) : indirecte (avec des codes) et directe (correction fournie). Seize étudiants d’un cours d’écriture en FLE d’une université publique costaricaine y ont participé pendant le premier semestre de 2021. Les questions suivantes ont guidé cette recherche : (1) Les types de rétroaction peuvent-ils influencer la profondeur de traitement (PdT) de la RC de l’apprenant ? (2) Les types d’erreurs peuvent-ils influencer la PdT de la RC de l’apprenant ? La collecte de données était basée sur deux textes argumentatifs (d’environ 500 mots chacun) rédigés pendant le semestre et sur une réflexion à haute voix après chaque activité d’écriture. Les participants ont reçu de la RC indirecte pour le premier texte et de la RC directe pour le deuxième. Les résultats ont démontré qu’il n’y avait pas de relation significative entre le type de rétroaction et la PdT des informations des apprenants. Cependant, il existait une relation significative entre la PdT et certains types d’erreurs morphologiques, comme les accords.

Abstract
Written corrective feedback (WCF) has received considerable attention in second language acquisition on both theoretical and pedagogical grounds (Lira-Gonzales & Nassaji, 2020). Although there is now a consensus that WCF is beneficial for second/foreign language learning, little research has examined how deeply learners process different feedback types. This article reports on a mixed-methods study comparing how French as foreign language (FFL) learners cognitively process two types of WCF: indirect (codes) and direct correction. The participants were sixteen adult FFL learners taking an academic writing course at a public university in Costa Rica during the first semester of 2021. The following questions guided this research: (RQ1) Does the type of feedback mediate learners’ depth of processing (DOP) ? (RQ2) Do the types of errors mediate learners’ DOP ? Data collection comprised two 500-word argumentative essays written during the semester and a think-aloud activity after each writing activity. Participants received indirect CF for the first text and direct CF for the second. Findings showed no significant relationship between the type of feedback and learners’ DOP. However, significant relationships were found for DOP and certain error types such as morphological and agreement errors.
