Abstract
The Role of the ‘Feedback’ Function in Moodle Activities. The development of online language teaching has accelerated over the last few years, and there is now an increasingly urgent need to deepen our knowledge of the functions of the available platforms. The aim of this presentation is to highlight the potential of the ‘Feedback’ function provided by the Moodle platform. The contribution deals with the Italian language courses offered by the Language Centre of the University of Perugia, with a view to showcasing some specific cases of the use of this tool, which enables the teacher to take on the role of facilitator of the learning process and the student to acquire greater autonomy in learning and self-assessment, without reducing the teacher-learner interaction. In fact, thanks to this function, teachers can add formative and reflective comments for each possible answer given by the student, for the purpose of fostering motivation, stimulating metalinguistic awareness and elucidating certain morphosyntactic structures or communicative functions.
