Week 5 of the 2015 Pre-sessional Programme focused on using feedback and reflection to improve learning. Students discussed what feedback is, why it's important, and how it can help students improve. An activity asked how students will use feedback to strengthen their English abilities. Homework included completing a feedback questionnaire and applying feedback to address weaknesses. Extra support like one-on-one sessions and conversation cafes was also available.
