Office gastrodiplomacy refers to how food shapes and influences our social relations within organizations, usually in positive ways. Although already a pervasive practice, it is only recently that this concept has received wide attention from industry practitioners and researchers in the behavioral sciences. This emerging topic traces its origins to socioanthropological studies applied to modern work environments like office settings. To expound scholarship in this field, particularly in the local parlance, this study aims to present novel findings on how organizational support, in aspects involving staff development, resources, and emotional support, affects attitude towards office gastrodiplomacy. A total of 327 respondents participated in a one-shot survey administered from September to December 2019 at the 25 offices of a public organization in the Philippines. Employing a descriptiverelational design, descriptive findings revealed that employees indicated being ‘fairly supported’ by their offices, while a higher proportion of respondents stated that they generally have a ‘favorable attitude’ towards office gastrodiplomacy. Relational statistics, however, generated a ‘not significant relationship’ between the two variables as a whole and across the three components. The researchers argue that it is likely that such a finding is a result of how the respondents only received organizational support in ‘fair’ terms. As such, results may somewhat differ if a ‘high’ favorable attitude to office gastrodiplomacy is complemented with ‘high’ organizational support. It is then proposed that a similar design may be replicated among employees in private organizations who may offer a different perspective, especially as regards aspects of organizational support.

To many scholars, error correction plays a significant role in improving learners’ accuracy in language learning especially in L2 writing, which is grammatically demanding. In terms of teachers’ roles in giving correction, the popular misunderstanding overemphasizes teachers’ responsibility in carrying out the task while ignoring learners’ roles in the process of error correction. In fact, learners can make more progress when they are given chances to respond to correction and contribute to the process. However, the decisive job of selecting the appropriate method lies in the hands of the teachers. Teachers need to consider two important factors, learners’ levels and attitudes, which the paper argues to be the basis of teachers’ pedagogic decision in employing the most beneficial error correction methods in L2 writing. In particular, the paper establishes the link between learners’ levels and attitudes and the three correction methods: coded feedback, direct correction and reformulation. Teachers are encouraged to weigh and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these methods, and adapt their suitability to their teaching context.
