implicit feedback (on language usage)
Implicit feedback is feedback that is implied but not plainly or directly expressed. For example, implicit feedback on language usage from a teacher to a student might be of the following types: The teacher repeats what the student said in a better or more complete way (a recast); the teacher says they couldn’t understand what the student meant; the teacher asks the student to check the work; or the teacher gives no response to what the student has said. (See also explicit feedback and the inquiry Feedback can help students notice grammar .)
