Abstract

Feedback is one of the most crucial components in achieving teaching and learning goals. It creates critical thinking intellectuals when used properly, in the best timing, manner and approach, giving students the opportunity to reflect, understand and see their work from different perspectives. Throughout this paper was treated the effect of feedback, the way it influences learners’ motivation and achievement if used in accordance with the proper situations and circumstances in EFL classrooms. Furthermore, it explains the procedures and the best practices which are taken from different sources, including particularly relevant studies. In order to gain specific and realistic data, a case study was conducted in different elementary public schools of Vitia’s city with sixth to ninth grade pupils, maintaining a quantitative methodology (including questionnaires for both teachers and students). On the other hand, theoretical contribution was very helpful since it supported my hypothesis in relation to the impact of feedback. The sources taken for this research revealed that feedback is very significant in the educational environment and emphasizes that it is one of the best choices for teachers when it comes to nourishing EFL to Albanian students. There is a considerable number of instructions on how to use feedback in different situations during the teaching process, accordingly, the research in educational settings in Vitia’s schools shows the utilization of feedback as an instrument with which teachers assess students, at the same time correct and praise them through feedback. So, based on the findings, the study suggests that well-constructed feedbacks should be implemented as an instrument of formative assessment throughout the learning progress as it boosts motivation and builds up comprehension towards L2 acquisition.
