The Survey on Teachers’ Verbal Feedback on Students’ Response in Senior High School

Abstract

Teachers’ verbal feedback as part of classroom discourse plays an important role in the development of students. This paper explores the verbal feedback utilized by a group of senior high school teachers. Data was collected through a questionnaire finished by students. The analysis of the data revealed that there were variations in the feedback given among the teachers: some types of feedback were used more frequently than others. The author hopes that the results will offer implications and suggestions for teachers to give verbal feedback in the classroom.
