** Rama Mathew, Delhi University, Delhi ** ** GIVING FEEDBACK ON WRITING ** This session was about how to give feedback on writing. In this session, I have learned how to evaluate students’ papers according to some criterion as teachers. Because, a teacher have to know how to give feedback and to measure students’ writing work. Students also need to know and learn their deficiencies and mistakes. So, they can improve themselves by looking at the given feedback. While giving feedback, teacher first should evaluate and check papers by starting with sides. Later, s/he should go on negatively and lastly finish it with again positive aspects. The three main things that were highlighted in the session were features of an affective writing work, how to give good feedback and the role of teacher while doing these. First of all, I have learned that one writing should include such things;

Second, the features of effective feedback are; As far as I remember, there are some difficulties while giving feedback on speaking and writing. It is also stated that these problems are similar in many countries. The language levels of the suggestions/ideas in the session were applicable to advance learners of English. To speak the truth, I was not able to understand how to deal with these difficulties and overcome them. I were also a bit disappointed because I hope, next year I will become a teacher and I am not sure how I can manage these difficulties when I first start to evaluate students’ work. I mean their speaking and writing skills. However, I believe in myself and I am sure I am going to overcome this situation by having experience in time. The presented ideas in this session and listening to the presenter was very effective for me. There were many things that will be useful and applicable for our future teaching way of the English language. I thank the presenter for informing us about how to give effective feedback.
