There is a general consensus among researchers that oral feedback is one of the best ways of delivering feedback for ESL/EFL students in writing classes. In fact, a number of recently conducted studies indicate that using oral feedback makes the process of delivering feedback easier and more comprehensive. Therefore, the present study is an attempt to investigate whether oral feedback can better improve student’s writing ability in comparison to written feedback, and to and to examine the student’s reactions and perceptions of oral feedback. The participants were 30 Iranian male and female IELTS candidates. They were divided into two groups instructed in the same way. However, the first group had oral feedback during instruction, and the second group received written feedback in their class. The analyses of the results indicate that the students who had oral feedback in their class could improve their writing ability better and had positive perceptions of oral feedback.
