| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research investigated the plausibility of providing immediate feedback to students and its effects in English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms. We used a cloud-based system because of its numerous applications and versatility for compiling and delivering immediate and slightly delayed feedback for the instruction of grammar and vocabulary, as well as to check homework assignments and to implement peer and self-evaluation in oral communications classes. It has been extremely effective and innovative. Student perceptions about the use of GSE were surveyed and showed largely positive responses and receptiveness for further integration of this technology in this EFL setting. Results were published and presented internationally, and future publications and presentations are in process at the time of this report, and it is expected that this research will generate further, exponential, dividends.
