Abstract
This article reviews the nature and function of RECASTS, a well-documented way of responding to young children. Recasts have featured in intervention programmes for children with language delay (LD), but with mixed success. The aim of the current review is to provide a theoretically-motivated account of just those recasts that are likely to benefit LD children. To this end, the Contrast theory of corrective input is invoked, where the focus is on adult models that are directly contingent on child errors (Saxton, 1997). Both theoretical and empirical evidence suggests that this kind of input can facilitate the acquisition of adult-like grammatical competence
