Feedback is really important, even if we sometimes forget how much it can help students in Grade 11 deal with public speaking anxiety.

Challenges:

• Harsh Criticism: When students get negative feedback, it can make their anxiety worse. They might start to fear being judged.
• Mixed Advice: Sometimes, students hear different opinions about what they should do. This can make things harder for them.
• Lack of Engagement: Some students might not want to participate in feedback sessions because they feel uncomfortable being open about their feelings.

Possible Solutions:

• Encourage helpful feedback that focuses on what students can improve, instead of vague or negative comments.
• Set up peer feedback sessions where students can support each other and share their thoughts comfortably.
• Include regular practice to help boost their confidence and lessen their anxiety. This way, feedback becomes a helpful part of their growth.
