Writing Module 5: Giving Feedback and Revising the Draft
Once students are done with their writing, they need feedback to help them revise and improve on the piece. This course takes teachers through the reasons for giving feedback and examines what constitutes feedback. With reference to a piece of research done in Singapore on teacher feedback, teachers will learn about the different types of feedback and how to write that feedback.
When to give feedback is another issue discussed and the concept of feedforward is introduced and explained. Once the feedback has been given, students must do the revision. Two types of revision, surface and deep revision, are presented and teachers learn how to teach these types of revision. Throughout, teachers will have opportunies to do hands on practice with sample essays.
