Study Notes
Feedback to Language Learners
- Feedback is a powerful influence on learning, both positively and negatively.
- Feedback can be summative (evaluative, end of period) or formative (instructional, ongoing).
- Effective feedback is specific, related to learning goals, appropriately challenging, and involves active learner participation.
- Feedback should be about the learning task, not just the learner.
- Feedback should focus on speaking strategies (e.g., checking understanding, buying time) more than grammar.
- Feedback on content and organization is as important as accuracy.
- Learners benefit from positive feedback as well as error correction, and comments and prompts lead to more learning gain than scores alone.
- The feedback sandwich (positive, negative, positive) is not effective.
- Effective feedback is more focused on what the learner can do better than what they need to get right.
- It is important to consider learners' individual differences when providing feedback; these include age, level, cognitive differences, and affective differences.
Corrective Feedback
- Corrective feedback is the most common type focusing on learner errors.
- Effective feedback is contingent on learner maturity and appropriate for the learning stage.
- Grammatical errors are not the only aspect of learner performance that should be focused on. Learners benefit more from speaking strategies.
- Feedback on pronunciation and vocabulary can lead to greater learning outcomes.
- Feedback should target specific, frequently occurring, or harmful errors.
Peer Feedback
- Peer feedback has benefits for both the giver and receiver of feedback.
- Peer feedback is more effective with regular practice rather than single instances.
- Peer feedback may help to shift the classroom from a teacher-centered environment.
- Learners should focus on content and organization in peer feedback as well as grammar.
Feedback and Technology
- Technology has greatly increased availability for feedback.
- Online feedback tools offer features comparable or superior to traditional methods.
- The most common is text or audio feedback.
- Students prefer multimedia feedback over purely written comments.
- Automated writing evaluation systems are being developed, improving accuracy.
Recommendations for Further Reading
- Various publications provide detailed methods and examples related to feedback.
- These materials offer valuable suggestions for improvement of feedback methods.
