The seventh day in World Learning Campus

We had more free time today. We relaxed and rested after visiting New York City. We were in NYC yesterday. It was exciting and amazing. NYC is very nice city with skyscrapers. We saw The Statue of Liberty, Madam Tussauds, people of diverse culture and nationality Trump Tower and a lot of famous avenues and streets.

Today our trainers began the seminar with reflection "Giving feedback".

Giving feedback is:

• oral and written
• productive
• useful
• important
• helpful
• supportive 
• positive
• objective 

Giving feedback helps teachers to check and analyze what works well and  do not well. It enables teachers to plan other lessons and trainings and it helps them to improve themselves. 

What makes good feedback? 

• good observation
• make good notes
• constructive
• good suggestions
• good and appropriative language 
• positive attitude

Ways of feedback:

• Directive:  Give the teacher feedback on your points, particularly on points to work on.
• Alternative:  Go through the lesson with the teacher, giving alternative to stage/activity
• Collaborative:  I-Ask the teacher to give his/her own feedback; II- Try to make use of what the teacher says in giving your feedback; III- Give the teacher feedbacks, starting with positive points; IV- Finish with points to work on. 

To my mind three of them are very important and useful. To use them depends on the situations and persons. 

 Our Trainers did a role-play activity and we had to give feedback. It was very good activity to learn more how to give feedbacks.
