Summary

Feedback in its actual forms has gained momentum because many developments in teaching and learning in schools and in the foreign-language classroom in particular have facililtated the implementation of a feedback culture. In the last decades, education in schools has become more and more learner-oriented. On this basis, formative feedback practices have become more and more important and specified in order to help teachers and learners to overcome the concentration on the person of the teacher and on drill-based forms of instruction. Today, feedback is no longer a one-way road, but also reaches teachers and is complemented by various other forms of feedback. This general positive development was further promoted by the changes in foreign-language instruction from the Grammar-Translation-Method to Intercultural Communication, with the aim of coming as close to real-life settings as possible.
