About the webinar
This workshop will begin by exploring the role of oral feedback techniques in fostering a reflective and self-regulated learning environment. Participants will learn how to effectively implement various oral feedback methods to enhance the teaching of different language skills in the classroom.
In the next segment, we will examine a range of feedback strategies designed to improve reflective language learning. These strategies are grounded in best practices and research, ensuring they are both effective and applicable in diverse educational settings.
The workshop will culminate in providing practical ideas and real-world examples of how oral feedback techniques can serve as powerful tools for enhancing reflective and self-regulated learning. Participants will engage in interactive discussions and activities that will allow them to see these techniques in action.
By the end of the webinar, attendees will be equipped with actionable insights on how to effectively integrate the suggested feedback strategies into their teaching and assessment practices. This workshop aims to empower educators to create a more engaging and supportive learning environment for their students, ultimately leading to improved language acquisition and learner autonomy.
