The Importance of Feedback in the Teaching and Learning Process of English

Abstract

Feedback has become one of the key factors in supporting the success of English teaching and learning processes. This study aims to analyze the impact of feedback on the effectiveness of English learning in Indonesia. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data were collected from students and teachers involved in the English teaching and learning process. The results indicate that feedback significantly improves students' understanding, learning motivation, and communication skills. Furthermore, the combination of direct and indirect feedback also plays an important role in enhancing students' language abilities. This study concludes that feedback not only helps students identify their weaknesses but also encourages them to achieve better results in English learning. Recommendations are proposed to teachers and educational institutions to improve the quality and frequency of feedback to support learning objectives.
