THE ROLE OF TEACHER FEEDBACK IN DEVELOPING LEARNERS’ SELF-EFFICACY AND CONFIDENCE

Abstract

Teacher feedback plays a vital role in shaping learners’ self-efficacy and confidence, especially in language learning contexts. Constructive and timely feedback not only guides students toward academic improvement but also fosters a sense of achievement and personal growth. In practical classroom settings, effective feedback helps learners recognize their strengths, identify areas for development, and build resilience in the learning process. Teachers who provide supportive, specific, and actionable comments encourage students to take risks, engage more deeply in learning activities, and develop a positive mindset toward challenges.
