THE ROLE OF EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK IN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on learning and achievement, but this
impact can be either positive or negative. We consider that it’s important to give
effective feedback to language learners. Effective feedback is an aspect of
communicative linguistics that is important for both the teacher and the learner in the
language teaching process. Based on the importance of feedback in learning process,
this study aims to find out and to implement the appropriate feedback in learning
language. This work attempts to investigate developing teachers and students’ giving
and receiving feedback effectively. In this study it was also attempted to investigate the
impact of feedback on language learning process. Additionally, this analysis highlights
several feedback patterns explaining the different contributions to the learning process.
Finally, this paper is used to suggest ways in which feedback can be used to enhance its
effectiveness in classroom. Accordingly, we believe that using effective feedback in the
class make learners feel comfortable to communicate effectively in different social
situations.
