Why Is It Important To Learn When Written And/Or Oral Feedback
Task 3
Describe and justify the ways in which written and/or oral feedback is given to a learner. Discuss how feedback and target setting promote learner progress and achievement, whilst maintaining or increasing the confidence of the learner.
At Link into Learning learners meet with their tutor every six weeks in order to review their progress. The following case study is an illustration of one such review.
M is a 24 year old female currently working as a health care assistant. M is dyslexic and this has been a barrier to learning in the past, being undiagnosed at school and so leading to issues of low self-esteem and poor attendance. M is now hoping to become a nurse but needs to gain a Level 2 Numeracy qualification in order to be accepted onto a university course.

For learners returning to education, often with negative experiences of learning, this promotes self-esteem and an enjoyment of learning as learners can celebrate their personal successes. It is important to revisit targets as learners often do not realise how far they have progressed, or at times lose focus and need reminding what it is they want to achieve. Target setting then points learners, and tutors, in the right
