The teacher's online feedback about the pedagogical skill of EFL students in micro teaching class

Feedback is an important aspect in students' learning as it provides information to about the strengths and weaknesses of the students. Students can learn and improve their skills and knowledge from the given feedback. This qualitative research aims to describe the types of feedback that teachers give when evaluating students' pedagogical skills in microteaching classes and the effect of their feedback. To explore this issue, the study used a qualitative design by interviewing two teachers and five pre-service teachers who have completed micro-teaching course. The findings indicated that teachers gave on five different feedbacks in micro-teaching class, namely: classroom management, communication skills, lesson plan, the use of media, and ways in giving feedback. Pre- service teachers believed that feedback helped them improve their pedagogical abilities, classroom management, communication skill, and way of designing lesson plans. The study highlights the importance of providing constructive and meaningful feedback to enhance pre-service teacher’ pedagogical skills. As these pre-service teachers will be teachers, they should be trained to be professional teachers with good teaching quality.
