What is recasting?

Recasting is a form of corrective feedback.  It is used often in speech and language therapy.   Recasts can be focus on pronunciation, on grammar, or on vocabulary.  After a recast, repetition is not expected.

Recasts may sound like this:

Child:  Wawa.

Mom:  Water, you want water.

Child:  I runned fast.

Mom:  You ran very fast.
