Do partners give feedback about student conversations?

TalkAbroad conversation partners provide feedback to teachers about student conversations. This makes it simpler for teachers to identify conversations to be checked more closely so they can support learners better. We call this feature Feedback for Teachers.

What feedback do teachers see?

Teachers will see numbers beside conversations that have feedback when they click View Completed beside an assignment name or student name (on the section page).  Here's what the numbers mean:

1. It seemed like a difficult learning experience. I hope the teacher can review it in more detail and support the student.
2. Everything was good here. I felt it was a normal and positive learning experience for the student.
3. It seemed like an amazing learning experience for the student! A lot better than most!

*TalkAbroad trains its conversation partners to try to give feedback about each conversation. However, since conversation partners may need to move quickly to another scheduled conversation, they might not always be able to fill it out.

How does it work?

If feedback is provided, it will appear in the talkabroad.com account of the student's teacher along with the other conversation information.

The feedback provided is not to be interpreted as a score or a performance evaluation, and it is not recommended that programs use the feedback to be critical of student performance. Rather, we hope that this feedback serves as one very useful data point among many that help teachers as they guide students.
