This paper examines the challenges and solutions of implementing corrective feedback (CF) in high school English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing in-struction. Despite CF’ s recognized role in improving linguistic accuracy, its ef-fectiveness is hindered by practical constraints. Key challenges include incon-sistent student engagement, lack of consensus on optimal strategies, and insuf-ficient teacher training. Proposed solutions encompass differentiated feedback approaches, technology-enhanced systems, process-oriented writing instruc-tion, and student feedback literacy development. The paper concludes that a balanced, adaptive implementation of CF—supported by institutional reforms and teacher collaboration—can transform it into a powerful tool for writing development in EFL classrooms.
