STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF TEACHER FEEDBACK AND THEIR LEARNING MOTIVATION IN EFL CLASSROOMS

Teacher feedback is considered one of the most important elements of the educational 
process, especially in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Effective feedback 
helps learners understand their strengths and weaknesses, improve their language skills, and 
maintain motivation throughout the learning process. This study examines students’ 
perceptions of teacher feedback and its influence on their learning motivation. The paper 
discusses different types of feedback, including oral, written, positive, and corrective 
feedback, and analyses their role in promoting learner engagement and academic 
achievement. The findings suggest that constructive and supportive feedback positively 
affects students’ confidence, participation, and willingness to learn English. Therefore, 
teachers should pay special attention to the quality and delivery of feedback in order to 
create a motivating learning environment.
