In this paper I will attempt to provide a brief overview of microgenetic method <br />and will point out its potential advantages and disadvantages in the context of second language <br />acquisition. To illustrate the utility of microgenetic method in SLA research, I will then discuss <br />a  SLA-related  issue  which  could  be  addressed  via  this  research  method,  namely  the  effects  of <br />written corrective feedback on L2 acquisition. https://are.ui.ac.ir/article_15464_988fd62201d0dcc1845d55f7b1f26bf4.pdf
