FEEDBACK

INTRODUCTION

Feedback is an essential part of education and training programmes. It helps learners to maximise their potential at different stages of training, raise their awareness of strengths and areas for improvement, and identify actions to be taken to improve performance.

Feedback can be seen as informal (for example in day-to-day encounters between teachers and students or trainees, between peers or between colleagues) or formal (for example as part of written or clinical assessment). However, "there is no sharp dividing line between assessment and teaching in the area of giving feedback on learning" (Ramsden, 1992, p. 193). Feedback is part of the overall dialogue or interaction between teacher and learner, not a one-way communication.

STORY

When I was in the high school I had a great teacher called Maria Inés Segura, she was an incredible woman because she inspired me for to study english. I remember very wonderfully the classes because I was the unique student that understand to teacher and I was the traductor of the class and this was a great experience that had with the english. For this, in the others class that I had, I only studied english and I feel good.

Then, when I finished my high school, I began to study in the Marco Fidel Suárez Polytechnic and my teacher was Mauricio, personally, he is the best teacher that I had and all my few process of learning english is thanks to him, It amazing all the things that he could teach me, like phonetics and in his classes I began to have a speech fluider

All this remembrances are pleasing for me, because I love english and  I really like thanks to  mentioned teachers because they express me their confidence,their wisdom and their respect. And the principal qualities that must to be the teachers are: patience, humilty and modest. This is the most important to be a teacher.
