Exploring Oral Personalized Feedback Affects the Improvement of English-Speaking Proficiency
Abstract
This study delves into the crucial role of oral personalized feedback in enhancing spoken English proficiency. It explores the profound connection between individualized feedback and the journey towards mastering English as a spoken language. This research highlights the multifaceted benefits of personalized feedback, not only offering visible benefits but also highlighting aspects that may often be overlooked. In doing so, this article aims to provide a holistic perspective on the complex relationship between oral personalized feedback and spoken language proficiency. The researcher used classroom observation and student rhetorical analysis methods. Classroom observations reveal that the teacher actively engaged students in honing their speaking abilities through a structured approach involving two distinct speaking performances. In the first performance, the teacher offers personalized feedback to each student, intending to foster improvements in their speaking skills for the subsequent week's performance. In the study, it was found that this personalized feedback was able to improve several aspects of speaking skills, including refining pronunciation, and aiding students in speaking more fluently.
