| description | Feedback is a powerful tool that has a significant influence on student success. Its meaningful impact on learning and teaching processes has been well-documented. However, there is minimal research concerning the impact of feedback strategies on foreign language learning. This article seeks to provide a theoretical and practical understanding of the impact of feedback on foreign language teaching and learning processes. This is done through a case study research conducted in a private institution in Bogotá, Colombia. The evidence demonstrates that the feedback strategies used and the manner in which they are administered influence their effectiveness. Three main strategies were observed and analyzed: corrective, motivational, and developmental. This article concludes with a suggestion to make feedback an explicit policy of teachers’ education programs in the country. |

La re-alimentación es una herramienta poderosa que tiene una influencia significativa en el éxito de los estudiantes. Esta influencia en los procesos de aprendizaje y de enseñanza han sido apropiadamente documentados, sin embargo existen muy pocas investigaciones con referencia al impacto que tienen diferentes estrategias de retroalimentación en el aprendizaje de una lenguaje extranjera. Este artículo busca proporcionar una contribución teórica y práctica dirigida al entendimiento del impacto que tiene la retroalimentación en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera en un estudio de caso conducido en una institución privada en Bogotá, Colombia. La evidencia reunida demuestra que el uso de estas estrategias de retroalimentación y la manera en que se proveen influyen en su efectividad. Tres principales estrategias fueron observadas y analizadas: Retroalimentación correctiva, emocional y de desarrollo. Esta investigación concluye con una sugerencia que indica la necesidad de la enseñanza de retroalimentación como una política explicita en programas educativos que forman maestros en el país.
