The article regards feedback as a way of correcting students’ mistakes in executing control. The paper offers a characteristic of written feedback, identifies its various types and subtypes in terms of their specific characteristics and efficiency of use. Various approaches to the correction of students’ mistakes in writing and speech are analyzed. Particular attention is devoted to the conditions of giving effective feedback.
