Defi­nition of Feedback

Positive Feedback
Negative Feedback
Positive feedback has two principal functions: to let students know that they have performed correctly, and to increase motivation through praise.
Negative feedback consists exclus­ively of the teacher repeating the student's response with a rising intona­tion. Students have no problem recogn­izing this a phonol­ogi­cally marked cue indicating that an incorrect response has been given.

Types of Feedback

Praise
Correction
Advice and Encour­agement
Evalua­tio­n/A­sse­ssment
