Abstract
Feedback skills are crucial for facilitating foreign language (L2) attainment (Hattie & Timperley, 2007; Richards et al., 2013). Additionally, if expressed in an addressee-appropriate manner, dialogic feedback can be a valuable source of input that can promote L2 learning (Andrews, 2003). In this explorative case-study, the linguistic appropriateness of L2 instructors’ oral feedback was addressed by investigating learners’ comprehension thereof. In 30-34-minute semi-structured interviews, five lower-secondary school learners assessed a strong and weaker pre-service teacher’s audio-recorded feedback on a writing task regarding linguistic quality and comprehensibility, respectively. Preliminary results of the qualitative content analysis (Kuckartz, 2018) indicate that learners rate general language competence as less crucial than addressee-appropriate language regarding ensuring understanding of feedback. Furthermore, addressee-appropriateness seems a highly dynamic skill that requires the situational use of linguistic and paralinguistic strategies. Based on these findings, research perspectives are outlined for expanding the teacher feedback literacy concept to include linguistic components.
