ABSTRACT: This research aims to address the gap in knowledge concerning the impact of feedback on English language learning outcomes. Feedback is a critical component in the process of language learning, influencing students’ motivation, comprehension, and language proficiency. Particularly within EFL settings, and to identify optimal feedback strategies to enhance language acquisition. The study explores the critical role of feedback in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom, examining its impact on student motivation, comprehension, and language proficiency. The study was conducted with 70 EFL students from four classes in the Department of English Language and Literature at the Education Faculty of Helmand University. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Excel. The results highlight the importance of tailoring feedback to individual student needs, as well as the diverse ways in which different types of feedback, including corrective, positive, and peer feedback, can enhance language acquisition. The integration of technology-mediated feedback tools also presents promising opportunities for personalized and timely feedback delivery. However, the research emphasizes the need for educators to carefully consider individual learner needs, cultural differences, and pedagogical contexts when implementing effective feedback practices. By refining their feedback strategies, educators can unlock the full potential of their students’ language proficiency and foster a culture of continuous improvement in the EFL classroom.
