THE ROLE OF FEEDBACK IN DEVELOPING LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE INMIDDLE SCHOOL LEARNERS

This paper examines the role of feedback in developing linguistic competence in middle school learners. As demand for second language proficiency increases globally, understanding how feedback impacts language acquisition at this level is crucial. Feedback helps students identify strengths and areas for improvement, guiding progress in speaking, writing, listening, and reading skills. The study focuses on various feedback types, including corrective and metalinguistic feedback, and evaluates their effectiveness in improving linguistic abilities. Ultimately, the paper highlights the importance of feedback in enhancing language learning and offers insights into effective teaching strategies for middle school contexts.
