Abstract
Language learning is a dynamic and interactive process that involves the gradual acquisition of linguistic skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Among the many factors influencing language development, feedback plays a pivotal role. Feedback serves as a bridge between instruction and learner performance, helping students recognize errors, refine understanding, and internalize correct language use. This article explores the types, importance, and practical applications of feedback in the development of language skills, drawing from contemporary research and language learning theories.
