Abstract
This study aims to identify in-service language teachers' knowledge and experiences of feedback literacy and examine their reflections on an online training based on the Developing Engagement with Feedback Toolkit adapted for foreign language teaching. The study was designed as practical action research. 17 K-12 English language teachers participated in the study. Data were collected through a survey, focus group interviews, and e-journal entries. The results showed that language teachers were unfamiliar with feedback literacy and perceived themselves as partially effective feedback providers. Assessment methods were based on homework, quizzes, and projects followed by generic feedback information. Teachers reflected on the positive impact of the training on their feedback giving practices and learners' engagement in lessons. They highlighted the points still open for improvement in personal feedback practices. The findings imply that the training can be adapted to language teacher education programs to grow feedback-literate teachers and learners.
