"Feedback is paramount to productive, effective, and self-regulated learning. Constructive feedback promotes students' engagement in the learning process and improves their performance both in and out of the classroom. Therefore, students should train and acquire various feedback skills already during their studies," says Detlef Eichner, lecturer in foreign language teaching and learning research and intercultural communication at the Institute of English and American Studies at the University of Kassel. In the seminar he leads, Using screen capture technology to provide constructive feedback in the EFL classroom, future teachers learn to provide multimodal feedback by simultaneously recording the screen and their voice while correcting and commenting on a student's written work. The focus is on permanently linking theoretical knowledge with practical classroom issues.

In order to be able to work with authentic texts, the students were given the opportunity to apply their newly acquired knowledge with the help of written work by students in the English advanced course at the Jacob Grimm School in Kassel. Afterwards, both groups met for a valuable exchange of opinions and discussed the experiences with the new Screen Capture Feedback method in an animated way.
