Abstract

    This study aims at analyzing the perceptions and practices of written feedback in English classes atan intermediate level in public sector colleges in district Bagh, Azad Jammu, and Kashmir. Precisely,the study analyzes English teachers' perceptions and actually written feedback practices employed in classrooms. Further, it examines the perceptions students have about written feedback; and explores the similarities and differences between students' likenesses and actual practices of written feedback.This study applies a mixed-method research approach, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative-methods. Findings of this study reveal that though both teachers and students prefer to have the provision of Specific Feedback with direct correction, in practice, General Feedback is given within direct correction. Teachers and students perceive the provision of Content Feedback and Form feedback both as more beneficial, and teachers also give both types of feedback, but they lend a bit more emphasis on Content Feedback. Similarly, Negative Feedback is supplied more. However,teachers and students like to enjoy Positive Feedback in actual provision
