Abstract:

This research examines the essential function of feedback in improving English language competency among learners. Feedback, encompassing both formative and summative types, constitutes an essential element of the language acquisition process, offering learners insights into their strengths and areas needing development. The study analyses diverse feedback mechanisms—including written comments, oral assessments, and peer evaluations—and evaluates their efficacy in facilitating language learning and skill enhancement. The study elucidates, via a combination of contemporary research and practical case studies, how timely, precise, and constructive feedback may enhance learners' motivation, self-efficacy, and overall performance. It also tackles the difficulties educators encounter in providing effective feedback, such as balancing critique with support and customizing feedback to meet varied student requirements. The results demonstrate that a targeted feedback method may substantially enhance students' language competency, promoting a growth attitude and facilitating ongoing progress. This study promotes the deliberate use of feedback methods in English language teaching, highlighting the significance of fostering a supportive learning atmosphere that priorities constructive communication and learner introspection.
