Exploring students’ perception towards teachers’ oral feedback in EFL classroom

This research set out to explore how EFL students view oral feedback. Information gathering via questionnaire; descriptive analysis of results. A total of 130 pupils from Ambon's State High School, Grade 10 were included in the analysis. The study found that pupils benefited from teachers' verbal comments on their progress in class. According to the questionnaire data, 90% of students recognized the value of constructive oral criticism as an integral part of the educational process. Students would have a more nuanced understanding of their learning strengths and areas for improvement if they received oral comments. It also revealed that pupils favour doing so in class rather than during break time. It is intended that educators will give proper weight to students' spoken responses to feedback.
