Feedback plays a crucial role in language acquisition and linguistic competence, particularly in the context of primary school learners. This article examines the significance of feedback in developing linguistic competence in young learners of foreign languages. It highlights the different types of feedback, including formative and summative, and explores how both can impact the development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. The article discusses effective feedback strategies, such as corrective feedback, praise, peer feedback, and self-assessment, and how they can be used to guide learners toward improvement. The role of feedback in fostering motivation, confidence, and a growth mindset is also examined. By providing timely, clear, and constructive feedback, teachers can significantly enhance students' linguistic abilities, thus promoting more effective language learning.
