  Case: Effective feedback
Marcie,a Spanish student, is learning to speak fluent Spanish. The Spanish teacher, Mrs. Garcia, observes Marcie and comments, "Your 'g' sounds need some work; your 'g' sounds are the same for words like 'amigo' and 'guerra'." With these comments, Mrs. Garcia has provided feedback to Marcie on her performance by giving specific and clear information.
Is this feedback effective? What kinds of feedback do you think Marcie needs to better herself?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While the feedback provided for Marcie was specific and useful, it was not very productive. When learning fluency of another language it is imperative that an adequate vocabulary has been established as well as conjugation of the foreign words. Instead of focusing simply on letter pronunciation, the teacher should focus on the level of vocabulary that Marcie is using in her speech.
