THE STRATEGIC IMPACT OF TEACHER FEEDBACK ON ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNER PERFORMANCE

This study investigates the multifaceted influence of teacher feedback on learner performance within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom settings. Recognizing feedback as a pivotal pedagogical tool, the research aims to delineate the types of feedback most effective in fostering language acquisition and improving specific skill sets. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving quantitative analysis of student performance metrics and qualitative examination of student and teacher perceptions, this study seeks to identify best practices in feedback delivery. The research addresses the critical need for empirically supported strategies to enhance the efficacy of teacher feedback, thereby optimizing student engagement and academic achievement in EFL contexts. Findings will inform pedagogical approaches, curriculum development, and professional development for EFL educators, ultimately contributing to more effective language learning environments.
