The Future of Education

Feedback is more effective if it can be demonstrated to relate learning goals in the writing class therefore, it should be explanatory and corrective. In EFL classrooms, students must be provided with a clear image of their performance so that they can determine what further improvements to be done to advance their progress in class.

The presentation will offer new perspectives and approaches to help teachers improve conventional feedback practice. This will also show how it is possible to make feedback on students’ writing motivating, interesting and rewarding through putting into practice the realities of re-conceptualizing feedback in the EFL writing classroom. Realizing feedback and feedforward in the writing curriculum, teachers are trained on how to provide valuable comments on students’ work. Moreover, teachers are also given equal opportunity with the students through exploring a feedback revolution. Not only does “feedback” provided teachers with ease and comfort in checking students’ writing, it also allows them to display good understanding of the cultural and political aspects in the teaching-learning environment.

This session is intended for language teachers across the many disciplines of writing who want to integrate feedback as a vehicle to promote student learning.
