Summary:<p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: ";Verdana";,";sans-serif";; mso-fareast-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">The aim of this article is to examine the impact of feedback on content and organization in writing tasks developed by learners of English as a foreign language. The type of study is qualitative and the research design is a case study. One study involved three students and a female teacher, and the second consisted of three students and a male teacher. Research instruments involved were a structured interview, a writing task in class and document analysis. The findings show that students feel motivated to re-write a writing task when the teacher provides feedback on content and organization. Moreover, there was evidence of improvement in the students' writing when they incorporated the teacher's comments.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: ";Verdana";,";sans-serif";; mso-fareast-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: ";Times New Roman";; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ES-CO; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" lang="EN-US">El objetivo de este estudio es examinar el impacto de la retroalimentación, orientada a contenidos y organización, en escritos desarrollados por aprendices de inglés como lengua extranjera.
