Summary

The implementation of a feedback culture in second-/foreign-language classrooms depends on the teacher, who should not be overwhelmed with requirements that he or she can in no way correspond to. The four essential characteristics that teachers should bear in mind are validity, reliability, authenticity, and practicality, but no classroom situation corresponds to real-life situations. The way to a new approach to learner performance is not the abolition of grades, but complementing them with formative feedback procedures.
