Vanessa Rocha, Celso Henrique Soufen Tumolo
Feedback is an important topic in education, and particularly for language development. This article intends to present some results of a research study aimed at investigating students’ perception concerning the feedback received during the script development in an L2 for the production of a digital story as well as the use made of the received feedback. Participants were students from Letras Inglês course. During the course, participants were required to develop a digital story, and feedback was provided for the script development phase. After the production of their digital stories, they were asked to answer a questionnaire and also participate in an interview, both focusing on their perceptions concerning the feedback received. A comparison between the digital story (the video) and the script with teacher’s feedback was also made to better understand the use participants made of the feedback. Results showed that participants acknowledged the relevance of feedback by emphasizing some aspects that were improved, such as the organization of ideas, punctuation problems, and also the development of an awareness for written productions. Concerning the use of the feedback received, results showed that the production of the digital story (the video) was an encouragement for the incorporation of the feedback received.
