A Study on Feedback Literacy of Middle School Novice English Teachers
Whether middle school novice English teacher has feedback literacy is the key to promote student en-gagement with teacher feedback.To improve students'academic achievement and develop a training plan for teacher feedback literacy,this study employs a narrative survey and semi-structured interviews to investigate the current situation and influencing factors of novice English teachers'feedback literacy.The results show that the teachers manifested a lack of understanding of feedback nature,with vague ideas of feedback design,traditional feedback methods,and low adoption of feedback technologies.Yet they did recognize the importance of feedback,the role of teachers and students in the feedback process,and manifested a positive feedback attitude,and a strong awareness of feedback reflection.The study suggests that novice English teachers should consider class requirements and con-textual realities when designing feedback.Professional training courses on feedback theory and literacy should be integrated into the curriculum system of English teacher education.
