A study by Sarah Elaine Eaton and Lorelei Anselmo found that English learners wished for specific, personal, goal-oriented feedback in their writing. Here are three suggestions for providing feedback:
“A feedback expectations discussion at the beginning of the term can be useful for setting the course’s foundation. A survey form can help the students reflect on their experiences and expectations, and give the instructor a sense of their students’ preferences. This discussion can also inform students about the types of feedback they will receive, and what they should do with the feedback.
“Including a comments section for the instructor, and a separate section for the learner, in the rubric requires the learner to reflect and respond to the feedback provided. By releasing the grade after the student has written their comments can also help prevent misunderstanding about the grading of the work.
“Instructors can use both oral and written formative assessment strategies together to lead to more effective feedback. A short oral conference with the student, in addition to written comments, builds on the strengths of both approaches.”
